Deep dives

Reimagining Patriarchal Traditions

The concept of a wedding is often steeped in patriarchal traditions, where women are socialized to view their wedding day as the pinnacle of their existence. This perspective reinforces the idea that a woman’s worth is tied to marriage, positioning her as property being transferred from one man to another. However, redefining these traditions allows individuals to envision a more personal and liberated version of themselves, moving beyond societal expectations. The discussion encourages questioning the societal norms attached to weddings, fostering conversations about what truly matters in intimate relationships and celebrations.
