Educational Q&A

A family’s stability and prosperity depend on the well-being and honor of its women; when women are made to suffer and are left in grief, the lineage declines, and the household loses auspiciousness and growth.

In the Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma instructs the king on dharma. Here he warns that neglecting and harming the women of a household leads to the destruction of the clan and the desolation of the home, as if ruined by its own actions.
