Kiran Bedi: Marriage for Indian Women Is 'Nothing But Trauma'

Dr Kiran Bedi is a famous police officer from India.

She used to be one of the most powerful police leaders in the country.

In a podcast, she talked about marriage.

She said that for many women in India, marriage feels like a sad and difficult change.

It looks like a happy celebration with a wedding, but then the woman has to leave her family home.

She is expected to call new people 'mummy' and 'daddy' and take care of the whole house.

Kiran Bedi thinks this is unfair and that families should ask women what they want.

She thinks women should keep working if they want to and be equal partners.

She also said that when women have babies, many of them stop working.

Kiran Bedi wants women to be strong, brave, and independent.
