Twitter Thread Highlights How Indian Society Makes It Hard  For Women To Leave Abusive Marriages Or Be Single

My Nani was a woman very ahead of her time as she divorced her husband while having a daughter. She raised my mother while holding a full-time job at a university. Yeah, she was pretty badass. Because of this, the idea of divorce and leading life as an independent woman was never taboo or foreign to me. However, I was up for a rude awakening as I grew older and realised that these ideologies hadn’t been normalised for everyone in our society. Women remaining unmarried and building a life of their own aside, women who are unhappy in their marriages were encouraged to stick it out or endure it. Check out this tweet I came across today which talks about exactly this,

A Twitter user who goes by @sadelokeshi has tweeted and highlighted the plight of so many women that are stuck in unhappy or abusive marriages. She said that unless a woman is almost dying, her parents will not support their daughter in getting a divorce regardless of her marriage is going. She further added that being a single woman in India is even worse and the regressive mentalities don’t seem to be going anywhere for the coming 40 years. Check out the tweets here:

My Nani has always told me stories of when she chose to separate from her husband. About how hard she had to work with no real support from her family and society being a single mom raising a daughter. And it is heartbreaking to see that so many decades later, nothing has really changed. While we have taken some steps forward, we have definitely taken steps backwards too.
