"Indian men marry many wives just to get water, and no one can do it with their unique charm"
The special role of Indian women, the "water wife", often means endless suffering. Once she becomes a water wife, she is destined to become a "water jug" from now on.
Although Indian water wives are human beings, they are nothing more than insignificant tools in the eyes of their husbands. Family status is gone, let alone social status. Even so, there are still many Indian women who aspire to become water wives and are willing to bear heavy burdens.
Why are there still so many women in India vying to become water wives?
The family status of Indian water wives is extremely low, and so is their social status. They lack independence and financial resources, and are not even as good as the Chinese women of old.
There is no problem with the relationship between men and women in India, because men are firmly in control of society, and women are powerless to resist. The status of women is extremely low, and some women are even seen as "appendages" of their husbands.
Although the law does not discriminate against women in India, the customs are extremely disadvantageous to women and deprive them of almost all rights. Today, the status of women in India has improved, but it is still embarrassing.
The best example of this is the Indian water wife, who is regarded by the husband as a mustard, or even as a slave. It seems miserable, but it is actually their best choice.
India is a large country with severe water scarcity, despite its tropical climate, scarcity of precipitation and water shortages. Rural infrastructure is backward, running water is difficult to access, agricultural water is completely dependent on God's will, and water for daily life is also unsustainable.
As a result, India's unique "water wives" came into being. They have to fetch water every day to meet their family's needs, and have little transportation to carry buckets or kettles on foot. For those with better conditions, you can still use the "overhead kettle", which is a little easier, but the daily work is unbearable.
The wives are nothing but their husbands' human pumps, but they have all this to bear voluntarily, and they can't really blame their husbands.
India is a country that values tradition, but it is rather indifferent to its own women.
