Hyderabad Institute Offering ‘Dulhan Courses’ Earns Major Eyerolls From Desi Twitter!

(Sarcasm Ahead)

Ladies, chuck ambitions, dreams, and success, because ‘women are born to be the best mothers and ideal bahuranis’! A woman who aces household chores is deemed the ideal Bahu, Beti and Maa! And this is what that makes a woman successful! Feel angry yet?

While a woman becoming a CEO, a banker, an actress, an astronaut, a lawyer or a politician is well accepted today, the sum total of her married life’s success often boils down to whether she is a good homemaker (or so we are conditioned to believe). And now, there are Dulhan courses!

An institute in Hyderabad is offering Dulhan courses and classes on ‘how to live a successful married life’ which help a candidate learn the key to build a happy marriage!

The special course gives lessons on cooking, mehendi, budgeting and sewing. While we can get on board with the lessons in finance, what makes people cringe is the fact that no institute nationwide has dared to offer ‘Dulha courses’. If ‘patriarchy’ seems like a hard pill to swallow gents, take a second to ponder whether you’d consider enrolling for such a class prior to wedlock.

A twitter user shared the details about the training and bashed the institute for promoting a course that put the onus of making a marriage work entirely on women.

Her post was soon flooded with reactions from all over the internet. People have lashed out at the coaching classes for showcasing such a course that puts the burden of home management entirely on women.

However, I’m eager to know if they have such courses for men too? ‘Best Dulha Course’ or ‘Best Papa Course’ would be rad!

Also, a few people actually believe that such courses are useful for women and ensure a better home and marriage management. Have a look:

It’s 2019 and we have seen many women balancing their work and home equally well. From the Prime Minister’s chair to heading to space, women have proven we need no such ‘courses’ to brush up on our abilities!

Thanks, but no thanks!
