This article isn't advocating for women to stay home all day eating chips and watching Oprah. Running a home efficiently can be a full time job in itself and women who's husbands give them the freedom to stay home and do this are very lucky indeed. A happy home is one where children feel they are getting love and attention, and plenty to eat, not one where both parents are absent all day but they bring home lots of money. Many people automatically go on the defensive whenever they read something about women and their place in society, before determining whether the point is valid or not. It is not a crime for women and men to have different roles, and they should both be respected for their contribution, instead of being put in competition with one-another.

Yes, she can work after her children reach a school-going age but do they wait for their children to reach that age? "A family in which everyone works is happier than one in which the women are idle." - where did you get that wrong information from?? what has a woman having many husbands got to do with this post?

They (both men and women) are very happy and don't wish to change their way of life. But more important, do you know how degrading it is for an educated woman to bear the insults and taunts of her husband and his folks just because she's a woman and your society considers her a slave? It is not necessary for a woman to work all the time. She can work after her children reach school-going age and do not need her all the time.
