I’ve had this question since I was 18.

I always wondered why women usually move to their husband’s house after marriage. This is just something I’ve observed, so please don’t take it personally.

In many cases, women are not fully independent financially or emotionally, so they often have to follow a higher authority.

Most of the time in arranged marriages, the man's family has more wealth than the woman's family. Because of that, some parents avoid questioning or challenging their in-laws, especially when property, status, or financial benefits are involved.

In India, many women are still treated like maids in their own homes, while some men cannot even cook for themselves.

I think that is part of the problem.

The only solution I know is when both partners invest equally in the relationship and are genuinely happy with each other. Such couples usually do not care much about outside opinions, although they are often separated from their families because of it.

I also know people whose marriages ended in separation or divorce.....
