My thoughts go to the recent Supreme Court verdict that had made news in social media.
I am just repeating below the statement of court below in case some of you don’t know yet.

Of course it is the duty of wife to look after her husband’s parents also and she should not create any resentment in the mind of husband against his parents which is right way. But that doesn’t end the obligation to take care of her parents too. Why this partiality for two genders?.
I do have some questions to our supreme board or group of people who have passed this judgement.
Whatever happens, it is always considered a woman’s fault! Are the legal systems of our country blind towards women’s issues?

She could picture her father standing in the kitchen wearing his white crisp kurta as he made delectable concoctions for his only daughter.
Neena grew up in a home where both her parents worked together in tandem to keep the house up and running. She had a blissful childhood in her modest two-room house. The house was small but every nook and cranny gave her memories of a lifetime. Neena’s young heart imagined that her life would follow the same cheerful course. But how wrong she was!
