Today , here in India a women does all the house chores 1- Cooks in the morning if married, then serves breakfast to her husband 2- w/kid, then she will get them ready 3- travels to work looking good, tidily 4- comes back and again cooks and takes all the complains thrown at her by her husband and kids 5- then the bedtime stories for both kids and husbands is that the reason, why women in India are scared to get married ?
