Are the family relations dependent on the marital status of a woman? Will the behaviours towards a man of the family change similarly if he is separated or divorced?
In our society, if a woman is separated, the reactions from even her own family members change towards her. Why? Are the family relations dependent on the marital status of a woman? Will the behaviours towards a man of the family change similarly if he is separated or divorced?
What is more important for society? That a woman who has divorced is a direct blood relative, or what her marital status is? Why should that affect anything?
If these are her family relationships from her birth, what is different now that she is no longer married? Why did all suddenly change just because she doesn’t have a traditionally approved marital life as per societal norms? She is discriminated against, and people make her feel that something is wrong with her.
That she is somehow incomplete, even if she is doing pretty well with her life, financially stable, and happy living independently or with her parents. She is reminded by society that the house where she is born, where she lived almost half of her life and where she is living now after suffering through and getting out of a bad relationship, is not her house.
She already has so many struggles, so many unanswered questions, so many things to cover in one single life, if her own family members change their behaviour towards her, how will she manage?
It’s not that any woman is dependent on any person for her happiness or any things which she wants to achieve, but losing family support can be really hard. Think about it.

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.
