This is a muhavra my mom always used to tell us (Mama’s gone on a trip aur unki yaad aarahi hay
How true is it? Are people by nature hypocrites, applying a different set of standards on different relationships, just by virtue of the relationship? Do we treat our blood relations better than non-blood relations?
Well this is somewhat natural i guess. Everyone tends to feel for their blood relations more. But well, when you enter into further relationships, you should maintain the balance wisely. Wait, did I just rephrase hypocrisy? I think yes.
I have never heard this muhawara before, although have seen this practically. Yes, people behave differently with different relations. Its because they don't accept the new susraali relations with open mind.
I have heard 2 instances of divorces just because the bride was asked to open her jehaiz saman (i.e. fridge) to be used in the susraal whereas she was aksed by her maika to not to let the in-laws use the jehaiz saman. I know the in-laws were not being reasonable to ask the DIL for her jehaiz ka saman, but is it really such a big reason to get divorce? Afterall, the brides were sharing fridge, tv etc with her previous family.
Depends how much she keeps a distance with her ILs and throw flowers on her own family. In severe cases, the bride could end up back in the same *maikay. *Then she will have all her life to throw flowers at them :).
