Abstract

Being married for a young woman is considered important in India. A female is born and brought up in the country with teachings of how to be a good housewife i.e. how to be respectful to the elders, husband and in-laws. The pressure of holding onto this responsibility is detrimental to her psychological well-being and further impacts her holistic growth. The case series unfold how the lives of Indian housewives change completely after marriage, even in the contemporary times, and impacts their individuality that result in the collapse of their mental health and personality.
