My opinion is that to depend on one's husband is the eternal virtue of women. The husband is wife's god, he is her (sole) refuge. There is no other refuge for her. How can then a wife act what is disagreeable to her husband?
पत्याश्रयो हि मे धर्मो मतः स्त्रीणां सनातनः। स देवः सा गतिर्नान्या तस्य का विप्रियं चरेत्॥
