A well knit family whose members are loving, affectionate, religious, educated, cultured and socially active starts crumbling, disintegrating, and the attitude of the family turns hostile, vicious, monstrous and sometimes murderous resulting in a drastic transformation due to marital expectations that went wrong.
Answer: Marital Expectations
In a majority of marriages, a list of dowry along with a list of activities for the wedding are strenuously prepared. However, another vital list is just assumed and neither prepared nor its veracity checked. This list however comes into effect post-marriage and plays a vital role in all relationships. The list of expectations that is ignored at the beginning brings an end very soon.
Some of the important expectations are related to matters such as:
In addition to the above, it is essential to know if there are any specific expectations from the future Mother-In-Law, Daughter-In-Law and Son-In-Law.
The following links provide some expectations from the Mother-In-Law and Daughter-In-Law:
If the above expectations are ascertained, discussed and agreed upon before marriage it will pave way for a smooth marital journey and better relationships. However, if these expectations are discovered one by one, they could be shocking, surprising, painful, disdainful, hurtful and demeaning. They will become a cause for many a problems and sometimes end with a divorce or death.
Marriage brings joy, hope and laughter and is deeply satisfying, incredibly fulfilling with loads of fun and happiness. It makes the harsh edges of life a little softer. But it’s not a cake walk, and it’s not something to rush into without thinking.
So: one should strive to know the challenges, and get their expectations right. Then, jump in with both feet.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
