Many people can be seen coming forward and suggesting what can be done in order to arrive to a solution. “Because since old times , only women felt like they belonged to the two houses. Since she was born her parents thought of themselves as her caretaker and post marriage the in-laws thought they owned her. Times have changed, 2 of the 3 parties have evolved … the in-laws haven’t,” wrote a Twitter user. Another person mentioned, “With her own money will be read differently by different people here at. Supporting your parents in any way shouldn’t be objected to. I guess more than men, the in-laws have problems!! A woman can support her parents with her money, his money, their money, anybody’s money!!”
