Maa, you say that it is our destiny to serve, sacrifice, as a wife, a daughter in law, a caretaker, a servant, a slave - you must know that all - but please, a little more time?

My dear son, if you ever make your marriage a battle of egos, it will never work. Learn to let go. A letter to my son (who's now a teenager) when he thinks of getting married.

You need to stop listening to your daughter and your wife, or else your daughter will never get married. These women don’t know about the society or how it works

Brides are supposed to be demure, and cry at their wedding. After all, they're leaving behind those they love. A bride who isn't like that? Tsk, tsk.

"You can study after marriage. You have to make kids first. Start a family. You are twenty right now and how can you walk like this?"
