Gone are the days when every women of the family had to depend on their husbands for financial help and support. But today things are changing to a great extent. Today women are earning and they are no more dependent on others financially.
But this is not the scene in every household. Nearly 60 percent of the Indian families have ladies who are financially dependent.
Now this gives rise to a new problem which is called financial abuse.
Its true that financial abuse existed in previous decades also and from a long time it has been existing, but then women were not so much educated. But today women are getting good education and are able to evaluate their values. So there the problem is arising
Previously women were not so much curious to know about finances and economies. But today women are educated and they need the money for their own living. Women who earn their own money they are not so much subjected to financial abuse. But still there are families, where the incoming daughter-in-law has to take the responsibilities of the family. And if they fail to pay the amount, they are maltreated. Yes, this kind of situations do exist, but this type of cases are not so much highlighted because most of the abusive cases comes from the non-working partners of a couple.
There are also cases where non-earning Men is abused by the working wife, but even those cases are not so much in the limelight because of the same reason.
So lets come to main cases which occupies the majority percentage. Till now, non-working women forms the majority in our country, and that is also because of the unemployment issues faced by our country.
The population of the country is so high that our government is still not able to provide jobs to the teeming million.
And that's how many women are left without job and they have to depend on their husbands for money and their expenses. And this creates a problem between the couple. The one who is earning is getting the liberty to abuse or not give the expenses to their wives.
I am not saying, all are doing the same thing. But their are many cases which can be heard if you carry on your own research. Just go and ask your relatives or friends who has to depend on their partners for money. You will get the exact scenario.
But there are understanding people also who cares for their partners and bear their expenses in a cool and composed manner.
But in a country like us, where there is so much scarcity of jobs, where the population is so high…the working partners need to understand the needs of their non-working better-half.
And the non-working partners also must have their limits of expenses and they should understand how much they should demand from the earning head of the family. Just being too much demanding is not going to end the problem rather, it will magnify the small problem into a great one…!!
So understanding the financial status of the family and then deciding the expenses and understanding the need of the better half….can lead to a meaningful solution…!!
