After the woman revealed that her mother now takes care of her sick, much older husband — whom her grandmother encouraged her to marry — one insensitive comment read, “But that’s exactly why your papa marry her naah, to get free nanny at old age.”
This remark reduces the woman’s mother to nothing more than a caretaker, dismissing the emotional and marital complexities involved. It mocks the painful reality of many women who end up in relationships where caregiving becomes their only role. Instead of empathy or reflection on how harmful such age-based arrangements can be, the comment justifies exploitation and reinforces outdated gender expectations.
