In India, parents pressure their children into arranged marriage. Especially girls get pressured more by parents into arranged marriage. They choose the groom by merit of caste, religion, family , education. These things hardly have any impact on a person's inherent nature of whether or not he is abusive. It is difficult to understand the real nature of a person with only a few conversations and meet and greets.
Many times I read and watch stories where parents turn their back after their daughter's marriage. Is it justified that parents turn their back after daughter's marriage and treat her like an outsider? Did the daughter not agree to the arranged marriage to protect the honor of the family? When the daughter is suffering, is it not the parent's responsibility to protect her honor when she is suffering?
I have been of the thought that if parents cajole, pester, pressure their daughters into marriage and the marriage turns to be a disaster, then should the parents take responsibility to protect their daughter from harassment , abuse etc?
I was reading over the story of Kiranjit Ahluwalia and started pondering over this issue.
