PARENTS! A divorced daughter is better than a dead daughter

Advice for Parents of Daughters

I would advise parents with daughters to always share this piece of advice with them before their marriage:

Talk to Your Daughter Before Marriage Tell your daughter, “We are marrying you off to a human being, but if you ever feel that he has turned into a beast, come back to us. Remember, a divorce is better than losing your life.”

You Are Sending Her, Not Abandoning Her Always remind yourselves, as parents, that you are sending your daughter to another home, not abandoning her. If, at any point, you feel that the place you married her into no longer treats her like a human, bring her back home.

Encouraging Safety, Not Divorce

I am not encouraging divorce, but I also cannot support the idea of waiting until your daughter’s body is sent back home. The old saying, “You’re leaving now, but only your funeral should return,” is not right. You raised her with love, and you can continue to support her, even if that means feeding her two meals a day.
