I came across a newpaper column about Indian Mom-in-laws have formed an association to make their voice heard of. To substantiate their grievance they cite the NFHS (national family health survey) As per that survey, Young woman suffer domestic violence from their parents rather-in-laws.
The members of this forum are not from lower strata of the society. There are forensic experts, doctors, lawyers, and other professionals. A harrassed mom-in-law lamented her story " everytime I go to take a shower my bahu switch on the geyser from outside during summer season".
Often they are portrayed as vamp by the media. Coming back to suryey it found an unmarried woman faces 13.7% domestic violence from her MOTHER comparitively 1.7% by their mom-in-law.
The report went on to say the daughter-in-laws are programmed to dislike their partner mother. Once this mindset is on, it is very difficult to mend it. This is the view expressed by a psychologist from Cambridge,UK.
Now, who indoctrinates the daughter-in-law? Who extends external support to daughter-in-laws? Or is it something found in women genes?
