Do women still live with their husband's parents ("in-laws")

I am a male btw, before the anonymous warriors start thrashing me in comments

It's funny to me that the age old ritual of women leaving their home and living with their husband, who in turn live with his parents (sometimes even a sibling) is still prevalent in this society. On being asked, the guys will always say who will take care of my aging parents.

Bhai, who will take care of your wife's aging parents? And ladki paida karne mein maa ko kam dard hota h kya jo ladka paida kar ke usse zada sewa ki zarurat hai?

Ladies(and even gents who have an opinion on this), how are you navigating this, given it's not like 90s anymore and you are earning as well as independent. Would love to know your perspective. I feel it's a social conditioning since childhood, but many are overcoming it.

Valid thought, here's the truth, from our forefathers age it has been and is the trend that once a girl marries a man, her name changes, and what does that signify?

That the girl is now bahu or part of her husband's family. That doesn't mean she can't take care of her parents. If she is employed, she can easily take care of them by visiting in car, travelling frequently etc.

But in case she is unemployed and a house wife then her brother/sister will take care of their parents.

The harsh truth of life is money rules all, which means u be a girl or a boy, if u can make money u can take care of not only your parents, but your in laws, btw this is for girl as well, if a girl is earning good, she herself will take good care of her parents and in laws.

Finally, the husband and wife can discuss about where to live after planning their conditions like house, salary, kids, etc.
