The study of the various aspects concerning women in the present work has revealed many important facts and has yielded valuable results in the field.
Grhastasrama gets high priority among the four asramas. Puranas depict a family where the head of the househould is a responsible person and the wife of the house holder as a devoted wife and an affectionate mother fulfills all the requirements for a contented life.
A wife is an equal partner in all the walks of life to her husband. She should be protected even though She is ugly or cruel.
The concept of pativrata is over emphasised and exaggerated at some places (Mark.P. Ch.19).
The puranas present a picture of woman who lead a happy and contended family life. Instances of sexual abuse between the wedded partners are very rare. Mutual understanding, attraction and interest played a key role in uniting the couple it appears. Motherhood was respected.
