We live in the era of advancing feminism and magnifying women empowerment. With an increase in the number of government policies for ensuring the security and safety of females of our country. We claim to have come a long way in accomplishing the task and have promisingly discarded many of the crime and violence that have been conducted against the women. No doubt a lot has improved but there is still a section of society that implies various weapons and mores to trouble and torcher the women in the family. Most of these weapons are encrusted with sugar. Modern problems require modern solutions. So these elements of the society found a new way.
This section of the society unintentionally ends up mentally torturing and pressurizing the women of the family. Owing to the fact that they believe that only monetary contribution aids in making of a household and running of the expenses. They tend to forget the fact that the bread maker is as important as the bread earner. They keep on pressuring their daughter in laws to start earning also they are never willing to share the load of household chores with them.
If a girl who wants to be a housemaker ends up getting married into such a family,they will make her feel worthless all her life and curse her enough to make her lose all her confidence and individuality.
They want a daughter in law to earn as well as to manage the house efficiently without making any mistakes. After all daughter in laws are perfect atleast that is what our Indian cinema has been endorsing since long.
And if unfortunately they get an earning daughter in law they will burden her with all sort of responsibilities of the house and again and again making her chose between her career and the household. And at no point letting her prioritize her career. Because that is not allowed! An ideal daughter law is obviously the one who studies all her life hardly to get her dream job only to surrender it  before the patriarchal mentality of her in laws.
Such double standards are clearly visible in Indian society and especially in the so called modern families that claim to have most advanced and radical line of thought. Such rich families that advertise their liberal thoughts only to defy them behind closed doors.
