You could be the best student, the best worker, the highest earner, and the best daughter, and still, your parents will want you to marry some guy, to be 'the best wife.'
They say, 'we'll find you a guy who will let you study further.'
I'm sorry, let me? Let me have basic human rights?
Our parents are so obsessed with 'log kya kahain ge' or 'what will people say' that they incapacitate and disable our strength, confidence, and independence. They don't think about the consequences of pressuring their daughters to stay home and not go out and learn about the world.
The world is full of shitty people, and if your daughter doesn't know how to defend herself, she will suffer and be pushed over every step of the way.
You go from living under your parents to living under your husband and never live for yourself.
Where is our choice? Where is our voice?
