Guest guest Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 "A householder is not expected to remain at home for all his days. After getting his sons and daughters married, a householder can retire from household life, leaving his wife in the charge of the grown-up sons." (SB 3.23.52 purport) "The duty of the husband to leave home as soon as there is a grown son to take charge of his wife and family affairs." (SB 3.25.5) "When the man is fifty years old, his eldest son should be around twenty-five, old enough to take charge of the mother.They should follow their father's instructions, their husband's instructions and the instructions of their grown, scholarly sons." (Teachings of Lord Caitanya, Verse 5) "When a child, a woman must be strictly controlled by her father. When she is young, she must be strictly controlled by her husband, and when she is old, she must be controlled by her elderly sons." (SB 5.6.4 purport) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
