Times have changed and women have come to level with men, as in they too work and earn money and also have as equal responsibilities as the man of the house has.
Do you think a wife has duties shes needs to fulfill or certain duties? If so what are these duties?

Have duties lessened or changed as to before (olden times)?

I don't believe in wives having specific ''duties''. Everyone has to do their part in the household whether it is the husband, wife or the children. I can't even believe that women had to be solely responsible of the chores and child rearing in the olden days and am certainly glad that this is not the case anymore.

I think both the husband and the wife need to be taking care of the house, kids, and other aspects of life. They are a family - a team. They must work together. No one should expect to come home and have everything done for them, to be served and waited on.

I don't believe in "duties," either because it sounds like marriage in the traditional sense when women have limited freedom. I believe in the man and woman being equal partners who both do their share of work.

I most certainly agree - we have come so far since those the times where women were responsible for all domestic chores and didn't get to do anything else. Equal partnership has brought in a new way of life which I'm sure we all appreciate much better than our great-grand parents.

In south India, it is completely different. A women working or homemaker is supposed to take care of chores like cleaning the house, cooking, washing soiled vessels, washing clothes, ironing and taking care of the kids. Men donot take part in any of this. We had seen our mothers being this way. Also we are expected to live this way both our parents and inlaws.
