Please share with us a few unique roles played by your husband when compared with the men of
other units in the neighbourhood. Share even small things about your husband that you feel is helpful
to you, the family and the processing unit. (00.01 0.40, Male Voice- Interviewer)

While I am not well, he helps me a lot. Even if he is not able to support at that moment he requests
his sisters to help me. For example, yesterday night I had to go to the office to visit by brothers wife,
so he requested one of his sisters to take care of the children and home. Like-wise he helps me in
every aspect. (00.45 01.13, Female Voice).

Not only this but they also would like to understand how I am different from the men in other families
who support their wife and household chores? (01.14 1.23, Male Voice)

Other men ask for the accounts from their wives. If they give even Rs.100 to their wives, they will ask
for detailed accounts, but my husband is not so. Even if I ask for account details from him, he wont
ask me but even if he earns Rs.100 he would give it to me and only after giving he would take it from
me, if he needs! (01.31 1.45, Female Voice).

We want to understand the reason for this practice (giving to wife and only then taking, if needed).
(1.47 1.57, Female Interviewer).

My brother or my friend keeps money only with themselves. My friend always keeps all the money
(bank balance) in his pockets. He will not trust anyone. If you ask for Rs.100 to him, he would pull it
from his pockets and even if it is Rs.10,000. But this doesnt mean he is not treating his wife well but
seeing his attitude wife herself will avoid asking taking the money because once taken he might ask a
lot of questions / doubts on accounts. So according to him fulfilling his wifes needs as and well arise
is the best thing. (1.58 2.23, Male Voice)

There is definitely a change. She does everything only after consultations. In our family no one takes
individualistic decisions. We consult while making all the decisions like for fixing a function, etc.
Because my mother survived for 20 years after my fathers death. She only brought us up leading the
family. So she is also consulted in all the matters. She is a principled women (my mother). Every
morning she gets up around 5.30 am goes to the temple for prayer and expects one of us to take her
to the temple, both in morning and in the evening. So either I or my brother meets up this expectation
of her. This out of affection we have on our mother. May be this is the reason why I have regards for
my wife and other women! (00.10 01.30, Male Voice).

Video- No.3:

Recently one of the workers in our company, requested for 2 days of job for her daughter on Saturday
and Sunday as her school doesnt operate on those days. But I immediately told her not to entertain
her daughter for work at this moment as she might lose interest in studies by just working/earning for
2 days a week. Though I might get a profit of Rs.200 for engaging her for 2 days, I felt it may not be
appropriate spoil her interest in studies by making her earn at this moment. She might think that I did
not give her the job but I feel good about what I had said because she might have to do homework
and bit of relaxation on weekends. But if she works on weekends and goes back to school on Monday,
she might feel tiring and loose the interest in education. Hearing this one of our worker says, why you
are saying not to labour, if she works, you would earned about Rs.200 a day, if this continues in this
manner, you might have to close the company soon. (00.05 01.17, Male Voice).

Education is very important for women. Moreover that girl studies well. Just because of her family
poverty she works for 2 days in weekend, definitely her education will be spoiled. Education is time
bound and for her this is the right time concentrate on education. Though I wish, now I cant appear
for 10th std. After completing her studies, if she wished to do this job, thats different or any other job
for that matter. No job is inferior according to me. So I felt satisfactory when I advised her not to
work now. (01.25 02.10, Male Voice).
