Indian women cherish and groom their husbands. If the husband is sick, the wife fasts. The husband is never called by name because it is believed that the spoken name shortens the life of the spouse. The wife never walks alongside, but always a little behind. She addresses him to you and washes his feet. And all this is often not from great love, but to avoid the fate when a woman is considered almost a leper.
