Indian school for daughters-in-law restoring family values

A school in India is training young women how to become perfect daughters-in-law to try and reduce soaring divorce rates.

So far more than 4,000 women have successfully completed the three-month course at the Manju Sanskar Centre in Bhopal.

Asian News International reports the course is aimed at restoring family values and reducing rising divorce rates.

Ayaldas Hemnani, chief trainer, said: "Nowadays there is so much materialism and egoism that one doesn't see beyond oneself.

"We thought of imparting value-based education to young women so that they may present an ideal picture of a true daughter-in law who can take care of the families which they marry into."

Student Jyoti Bhavrani, 22, who is due to marry shortly, said: "We have been taught all kinds of values ranging from correct behaviour before marriage and the one that follows it so that we make our lives and those around us almost heaven-like."

Susheela Dayaramani, whose daughter-in-law passed out of the school, said: "I am very happy with my daughter-in-law.

"We are happy with whatever she has learned including how to take care of elders and youngsters in the family. She has won everyone over by her amiability."
