Delhi Video on ‘Good Bahu’ Insists In-Laws Come First, Draws Online Backlash

Reports cite the speaker as a Delhi University graduate, with outlets noting the viral post has not been independently verified.

Overview

  • A short clip shows an elderly Delhi man saying a “good daughter-in-law” should care only for her husband’s parents and stop prioritising her own family.
  • He criticises women for confiding in their mothers or sisters and for not “mixing” into the in-laws’ home, remarks widely called misogynistic.
  • The video was posted on X by @TARUNspeakss on February 4 and has since been reshared broadly, with versions circulating on Instagram as well.
  • Times Now reports angry reactions, including users linking such attitudes to singlehood and divorce trends, while also stating it could not confirm details of the post.
  • Coverage frequently repeats that the man is a Delhi University graduate, a claim presented in the posts without independent verification.
