1. We expect our daughter in laws to cover their heads but its ok for them to relieve themselves in public because there are no toilets in the house.
2. Blame the rape victim rather than the offender. Why? Because boys will be boys.
3. Sari is considered a traditional and a decent outfit for women even though your naval and your back is visible.But jeans and t shirt which covers your whole body is considered indecent and invites assault.
4. A man can make his wife pregnant, that is a sign of his manhood. But if the same man helps his wife during pregnancy or in taking care of the new born, he is a jhoru ka ghulam.
5. The daughter is expected to stay with her abusive husband, even though he may kill her, because log kya kahenge(What will the people say?)
Oh I can go on and on about this, but I will stop here. I think the change should begin from each and every household. Unless we teach our boys that women are also human and they deserve respect and love, the abuse against women will not stop.
