10. After-Before

Why do all the Women (heroines) in Indian serials (and movies) after getting married (fighting a losing battle, trudging across so many tribulations) always change into an entire different persona than before?

Why do they have to give up on the jeans and the trousers, and kurtas and tops always to start wearing only the sarees, in the most traditional way, in the most traditional look as if   given that, no one doubts the authenticity or the integrity of the bahu?

Is it that, with big words spouting of our mouths, we haven't really changed an iota in our outlook towards the women of our society? Are we no better than before? Do the "dress-codes" still make us judge the women accordingly? Is there still no freedom? Is it a true reflection of our own attitude towards the brides and daughters-in-law?
