Re: Nikkah contract
Why do you believe that ladies are totally incapable of offering the same respect to their in-laws? And what makes you (i.e. men) capable of being fair to both sides?
There are reasons for that, IMHO. Females are naturally jealous. When it comes to a man whom they love (either in the form of a mother or a wife), they don't want to share the person with anyone else. It is a natural in-bred response. Hence, the never ending conflict between the Saas and the Bahus. In these matters, their emotionalism will always overcome their rationalism.
Are you more intelligent? Are you more logical? Are you more balanced? What is it?
Intelligent: No
Logical: Yes
Balanced: Depends.
There is a basic difference between how a male thinks and how a female thinks. If you are a female and you look at the way how a typical male thinks, it may not appear balanced and intelligent to you. Similarly, if you are a male and you are looking at how females think, it may not appear balanced and logical to you. To me we are designed to think differently and our combined thinking makes up the total human intelligence.
The issues start to appear when the society starts to impose restrictions on the way we are supposed to act naturally and instinctively. Religion, culture, education are few of the factors which are there to stop us from applying our natural instinct.
So if you ask me, I would say women are equally intelligent but on a different dimension.
So why so much hue & cry from me, if I have this thinking. Because we all live in this society and we have to change according to its norms.
