A girl has her whole life changed after marriage. She is expected to change her name, her food habits, her beliefs and her ideologies after being married. She gets a new identity.
Marriage gives ‘a new life’ to a girl. But the question is- Why does only a girl go through such changes? Aren’t we all humans? Why does a girl not have her own identity? Why is her identity changed depending on her marital status?
We have a notion that a girl has no identity of her own. She is born with her father’s name and dies with her husband’s name.
A girl has to sacrifice everything after marriage, yet, she is expected to look married wearing sindoor and mangalsutra as a symbol of marriage, while a boy has to wear no such proof of marriage.
