| description |
<p>This study aims to explore the participation of professional Indian women</p><p>in the decision-making power in the family on the aspects of marriage,</p><p>career choice and domestic chores. Fifteen Indian women, who work in</p><p>different professional sectors and live in Kuala Lumpur and the Selangor</p><p>area, were selected as respondents for this study. A qualitative approach</p><p>using one to one in-depth interview method was used to gather the</p><p>primary data. Coding method was used to categorize the information into</p><p>relevant themes and the data presented using thematic analysis. The</p><p>findings highlighted that majority of the professional Indian women have</p><p>more freedom and authority to make decision in the family. Love</p><p>marriages becoming popular and higher acceptance for inter-caste and</p><p>mix marriages in Indian society. Moreover, professional Indian women</p><p>have the freedom to choose their own career and they preferred to remain</p><p>in employment after marriage in order to be independent and for financial</p><p>security. Negotiation of decision-making power enables them to obtain</p><p>equality in doing domestic chores with husbands. Furthermore, womens</p><p>bargaining power increases due to their education, employment and</p><p>financial independence which contribute to their well-being and practice</p><p>of equality in the family. However, there are few women who have less</p><p>power to select life partner and career field due to the traditional practice</p><p>in their family. The findings of this study highlighted the transformation</p><p>of the perception and the traditional practices as well as acceptance of</p><p>decision-making power among professional Indian women in the family</p><p>from the traditional patriarchal ideology. However, some of the</p><p>traditional practices are still remained. The research findings could also</p><p>become reference for future studies and policy makers to formulate</p><p>policies related to rights, role and socio-economic development of Indian</p><p>women in Malaysia.</p> |
