“By not fixing time for return of their wives, who go to their parents’ homes, men need to provide mental independence to women as even if they are at their parents’ house, they always think about the safety and well-being of their family,” observed Assistant Professor of Kuvempu Institute of Kannada Studies Dr. N. K. Lolakshi here yesterday.
