Women in Traditional Society of India

Women traditionally ( especially in conservative/traditional Indian society ) are dependent on men. Before marriage, a girl for her development, progress and career etc. mostly depends on her father or alternatively on her brother(s). After marriage , she is dependent on her husband; If husband dies, a widow depends on her son (s) or alternatively on her brother (s) . So, in fact, she is never independent, can not survive without appropriate support of men.But not true any more in the modern society, may be soon with time, situation may reverse when men will become dependent on women.
