It is amazing that a woman supreme court judge includes her daughters' marriages as a liability in her financial balance sheet.

Probably, she is right in view of the social traditions in India. Expenditure on daughters' marriage is a major item. She has to provide for the expense on daughters' marriage.

The Govt. officers and judges etc. have to submit every year their financial position and property statement. Daughter's marriage requires expenditure. The woman judge just indicated the amount that she will spend on daughters' marriage. This is not wrong. She is not to blame. The social system is to blame.
I think the action of the judge is appreciable as she has been honest in sharing true and fair balance sheet with authority and is in itself a lesson to learn by all.

For the topic heading No Women are not at all liabilities they are quintessential part of our society.
Thats fine Gulshan. I was unaware that money spent on marriage rituals should also be stated....
Daughters are never liabilities .As I have a daughter I think her as my strength , my life . I feel proud as her mother. Thank you . :) :) :) :)
To find an answer to this question one has only to look at medal tally of Asiad and CWG!
As Gulshan said we cannot blame the women judge.It shows that she spends money only after proper planning. :P :) :) :)
Daughters are actually a great gift to the family, she is the form of Maa Adishakti. Jai Mata Di.
Daughters are the best gift for the family, but the family member herrass her by dictator ship, i dont know why they wont think that she is also a human, she also have mind to think. she also have some desires.

The gender specific social norms lead to discriminatory treatment. Parents need not bother about boys. The girls are considered 'honor' and anything going wrong to them will spoil the 'honor' of family and the girl. The boys have no 'honor'. Hence, girls should not be permitted to move about alone or play games suiting boys only etc.
I agree with Gulshan for the reason for the descrimination between girls and boys in families. Thumbs Up.
