Re: rishta “signs”?
They don’t seem to be knowing anything like that. But most of the time, the future in-laws put conditions that the bahu will work or the bahu will not work. Why they would NOT leave this decision to the bahu? The wife of course will not be an ENEMY to her husband and/ or children and if there is any situation where the wife is needed to support her family, I don’t think any sane woman would not stand up for her family (if she was not working previously or if she did not ever spend her money on her husband/ children).
