00:00The father of the husband is my own father.

00:03Some random fellow as papa.

00:05New house, new mummy, new papa, new name, new family, new bed.

00:09Why? Are you getting a rebirth or what?

00:12The reasons are all very evolutionary and very material.

00:17Based on economics, nothing else.

00:19So the husband carries her away. He says, you know, now she will produce kids for me.

00:23So I must possess her, own her and keep her at my place.

00:26And for exactly the same reason, the girl is made to now wear and carry the name of the husband.

00:32Quite loveless economics.

00:34There is no life in it. There is no love in it.

00:37And no self-respecting woman should agree to this.

00:40No self-aware woman can agree to this.

00:43In fact, forget about the woman.

00:45If even the man has any degree of self-awareness and self-respect,

00:50he will never want a woman to quit his family and start coming here and do all kinds of things.
