Paragraph 19

Paragraph 19

“কিরকম জানো? যেমন বাড়ির বউ! দেওর, ভাশুর, শ্বশুর, স্বামী—সকলকে সেবা করে, পা ধোবার জল দেয়, গামছা দেয়, পিঁড়ে পেতে দেয়, কিন্তু এক স্বামীর সঙ্গেই অন্যরকম সম্বন্ধ।

In plain words

"Do you know what it is like? Like the daughter-in-law of a family. Her husband's brothers, younger and elder, his father, the husband himself, she serves them all: she brings them water to wash their feet, hands them a towel, sets out a low seat for them; but with her husband alone she has a different relationship.
