For centuries, a harsh and inhuman thinking has been imposed on widowed women in Indian society. Many people believe that a widow should always wear white clothes, should not wear jewellery, should not use cosmetics, should not laugh, as if her life had ended with the death of her husband.

But the question is, where did these rules come from?

Storyteller Shivam Sadhak Maharaj says that it is not written anywhere in any Veda, Purana or scripture that a widow woman should not wear makeup. Then why did society create this cruel tradition?

Do you also call your husband ‘Hubby’? Know the logic behind this from narrator Shivam Sadhak Maharaj?

Understand the difference between makeup and wedding ceremony

The biggest mistake people make here is that they consider makeup and wedding as one thing, whereas it is not so.

Signs of honeymoon like-

Sindoor in demand
Mangalsutra
nettles
Bangles (symbolizing marriage ceremony)

These symbolize marriage and the presence of the husband. Not wearing this symbol after the death of the husband may be a part of religious tradition. But this does not mean at all that, woman

stop wearing nice clothes
do not wear jewelry
don’t make yourself beautiful
Do not wear slippers, shoes, saree or decorative clothes

It’s all part of makeup and is completely legal.

Religion has never supported the idea that the way to suffer is to make oneself ugly.

What do the Puranas say?

It is mentioned in the Puranas that insulting a woman, hurting her and disrespecting her are equivalent to sins.

Imagine what you are doing when you tell a widow not to wear colorful clothes, not to wear jewellery, not to be happy?

This is not religion, but cruel social control.

Being a widow is not a crime. The death of her husband is not a woman’s duty, then why is she treated this way?

Widowed women are also human beings, full of emotions and have the right to live life.

Narrator Shivam Sadhak Maharaj says that religion teaches surrender, not self-suppression.

The real truth is that, widow woman
Can do makeup.
Can wear nice clothes.
Can look beautiful.

Can live with self-respect. That’s all, stopping everything else is not a part of religion, it is mental violence. If any tradition promotes discrimination against women, then it is not a tradition but oppression.
