@Reha

But what exactly are you thinking has happened here? The previous generations are still alive and kicking and that mentality is still going strong and will for a while. You cannot just wish it away. It will go…but with time and education.

Because its up to US how we raise our children and with what values, not our parents.
The real problem however, lies in the fact that the majority of people today are too influenced by their parents. And its not only the underprivileged. A girl I knew from A-Levels was married at 20 to a doctor in the US even though she protested, fought with and in the end begged her parents not to.

The same old reasoning: “Rishta acha hai, hath sai nai janay daina”

My daughters will never believe they need anyone else to survive in this world. If I have a girl, she will be independent and I will make sure of it.

:k:

My dad has always told us “meri larkiyan larkon se kam nahin hein”. He has unbelievable faith in us and our abilities. My mother just worries about us being alone because she came from a world where a woman NEEDS a man. That’s what they were taught so naturally in their eyes being a good parent = making sure your daughter has a good man next to her.

Hmmmm… Your dad and mom obviously came from the same generation, so why this large difference in their views about their daughter? Something must have happened differently in their lives?
