Once you're married, your only introduction will be 'Mrs. XYZ.' All your qualifications will vanish and you'd only be someone's wife.
Once you’re married, your only introduction will be ‘Mrs. XYZ.’ All your qualifications will vanish and you’d only be someone’s wife.
In comparison to older times, our society had changed and developed quite a lot. However, we still lack when it comes to women. We identify men and men in every manner – whether he is single, married, widowed, divorced or a single parent. No matter what, he will still add the prefix ‘Mr.’ to his name.
However, when it comes to women, she is identified based on her relationship status, even with her name. When she is single, she needs to add ‘Miss’ as a prefix and ‘Mrs’ when she is married. Also, our society seems to believe that women will change when their relationship status changes.
If you are single, well-educated, independent and earn your own living, you are praised by society. Your parents are also proud of you. They will introduce you as their daughter to everyone with a lot of pride. However, once you’re married, they will introduce you as someone’s wife like ‘Mrs. XYZ.’
Suddenly, all your education and qualifications seem to vanish and you are only someone’s wife. And that is fine up to an extent and even women can accept it. However, if things don’t work out and you get a divorce or separate from your husband, society’s behaviour towards you will change!
Every single person will judge you. The ones who were once proud of you will now see only your faults. Your relatives, most likely, will not like to meet you. And your parents will live in the fear of the questions people will ask about you.
No one will try to understand your point of view because according to our patriarchal society, only women are wrong. Men, no matter what, are never wrong. All the faults are there only in women. Suddenly, every good quality of a woman vanishes and she is merely judged on whether or not she is married and what her relationship status is.
Let’s please let the women live their life on their own terms. They will be the same regardless of their relationship status. Their relationship isn’t their identity, it is only a choice she makes for herself!

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.
