A woman gets married, but why does society suddenly expect her to have a new home, new parents and a completely different set of responsibilities? Her name may remain the same, but the expectations around her identity can change overnight. She is told to adjust to her husband's family, treat his parents like her own and take responsibility for relationships she did not grow up with. But why is the same level of adjustment not always expected from the husband? This raises an uncomfortable question: has marriage become a partnership, or is it still asking women to leave too much of themselves behind?
