💨 Abstract

In a hill station, the author observed the societal pressure on women to carry symbols of marriage, while men go unnoticed. This leads to an unequal burden of societal norms, customs, and rituals on women, who are traditionally viewed as dependents. The author argues that in a democratic country, personal choice is essential, offering women protection under law against societal prejudices. Women should make wise and independent choices to empower future generations.
