A mother plays a significant role when her son or daughter starts a new life after marriage. Back then, a girl started her life, taking lessons from the married life of her parents. She would try her level best to tackle situations and problems in her marriage without bothering her parents about the same. But in today’s modern scenario, the role of the mother manifests itself in various ways. The mother in India reminds her daughter in America with the help of ‘skype’ about probing the reason for the delay in her husband’s returning home from office. She even insists on searching his pockets for some clue!

Children absorb more easily things that they learn from the life of their parents than from the advice the parents lend. If the parents lead a peaceful way of life in which love, healthy relationships, amenability and maturity rule, the children feel enthusiastic to emulate them. Secondly, the things that the mother teaches to her daughter of marriageable age matter a lot. Nowadays the boys’ parties are put off by the conditions laid down by the girls’ parents. The girl’s parents are very particular about the salary of the boy and the country where he works. The most unjustifiable condition is that no one from the boy’s side should take any liberty with the boy after marriage.

The unjustifiable practice of denying education to women and not allowing her any freedom of movement was rampant in olden days. But today the situation is just the reverse. Women are educated and are earning on par with men and are enjoying freedom with no-holds barred. But, it is more unjustifiable to take revenge on the male population misusing their advantage of equivalency in everything. It is not fair to ensure happiness to the girl by laying down unfair and inhuman conditions. Happiness to the girl can never be achieved by the strict behavior of her parents towards the boy’s family. They believe that the girl and her family should enforce strictness from day one to clamp down the boy and his family from dominating. The clash of egos and competition between the spouses for every trivial thing will make an interesting subject for television, but not for real life. Only a positive behavior and thinking will ensure a positive life.

No doubt, the boy needs to have good education and a good job. But there are things that are much more important than these two basic requirements. Can you say for sure that all those girls who have gone to America after marriage to run a nuclear family with their husband are really happy? The answer will be an obvious negative.
