In India, women don’t get very far in their education. Many stop school after the 10th possibly 11th grade to get married.

This is evident from the very notion of the Chechen marriage known as ‘lovzar’ which means –‘play’. Nuptial ceremonies among Chechens and Ingushis have some differences. With Ingushis it is considered a calamity that s girl gets married without the parents’ blessing, while Chechens see nothing wrong in that. Sometimes, her relatives go this way in order to avoid extra expenses involved in marriage ceremonies. At the appointed time, a groom with friends would go to an appropriate place (the exit spot for the bride) and take away the girl and this is considered to be getting married (marie yakhar) or nuptials (zuda yalor).

These oppositions of values offer the reader a chance to balance their own views on the sanctity of marriage. They also have the chance to empathise with Elizabeth as she declines Collins' offer, which could seem selfish as it not only risks her future security but that of her families as well. Austen has already made the reader aware of Darcy's affection towards Elizabeth however. “Elizabeth could not help observing... how often Mr. Darcy's eyes were fixed on hers” (p45)3 making their relationship inevitable from early on in the novel. Austen introduces the character of Elizabeth indirectly through her father.
The fact that she had a son later reveals the unfair gender roles of the child, compared to the idea of if she had a daughter. By choice, the Third Princess became a nun and it’s believed by the Japanese that “a girl might seem to invite bad luck [if] the mother is a nun. But with a boy it makes no difference.” (Tale of Genji, pg. 648) Through superstition, the gender of a child coming into an Aristocratic heritage makes all the difference for the future of the family. A daughter would have had different requirements growing up and it was believed that the family might have been cursed with bad luck because the mother became a Nun.

The novel is about a family consisting of five daughters, the Bennetts, who live in the regency period.

Education for women at the turn of the century was a luxury not afforded to many, and if one chose to be single and seek education over domesticity, she was often pitied or ridiculed by both her peers and community. Emily Dickinson is one example of a woman who was able to choose a significantly different path for herself. Because Dickinson was born into a wealthy and affluent family she received the opportunity to be formally educated.

The Invisible Cage Pride and Prejudice In the nineteenth century society, the options of choosing husbands for unmarried women are limited due to the reason that the society has prescribed a set of values for them. The English society associated the entrance of a woman into the public with a reprehensible loss of femininity.
