Man will obey his wife and disobey his mother

@MIAinVA

So you are implying that a man’s wife or mother actually have authority over him?

Not authority per se… but you can call it blind following (out of love).

@Shak09

Whoever is right, if the wife is right then side with her if the mother is right side with her

Obviosuly there are tacts and manners and circumstances involved but that should be the general gist

Yes. That’s right on point.

@MIAinVA

I still don’t get why you people are using the word obey… i mean its not like the wife is ordering her husband to do stuff, or even the mother… I really don’t get it

In my household, the only people who obey anyone are the children… adults have their own minds and don’t need to obey anyone, yes not even the wife. My husband does not command/order me to do stuff… he requests… like when he says “yaar, chai tau banaa do”… its a request, not an order.
Same with me, I request him to do things. This word obey totally offends my sensibilities.

Ok, you may use request.
But when that request becomes constant and strong*, it is no longer a request but an order. Anyway, obey was used as translation of that text I guess to signify/differentiate between a simple request and a strict demand.
