Abstract: Indians give great importance to the religious traditional marriage. For instance Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian etc. follow their own traditional customs and rituals to conduct traditional marriage. A person born in any religion is expected to marry according to his religious tradition to lead a family life. To define marriage unites two souls and create a strong bond between two families. Many a times these marriages are arranged by family members through so called ‘Social Institution’ (marriage) to keep healthy relation between two different peoples. Nowadays many feminist are criticizing this social institution for imposing rigid moral codes of conduct upon women’s. A woman is expected to sacrifice all desires to make the marriage successful. According to Bhopal [1999] traditional marriage are seen as agreement between two families rather than two souls and are based on a contract where both sides have to fulfil their obligations. This obligation makes unreasonable demands on the bride family or else bride is oppressed through domestic violence in the house. In traditional marriage brides education, ambition and desire are given less importance. She has to play secondary role of pleasing husband, serving in laws and giving birth to child. The feminist argues that ‘patriarchy family structure’ is important reason for women’s secondary role and status in the house. In these family structure men is head of the family who takes major decisions and rest of the members have to follow without opposition. The men try to possess power upon women body to control and achieve whatever he desired. This patriarchal power leads case of domestic violence in the house. The second wave feminist was more concerned about this power to end male domination. Feminist Lynne Segal argues that we wanted power to participate in the making of a new world which would be free from all domination [Segal, 1987:2]. This argument is leading many modern females to end male domination by revolting against traditional marriages. There is need to eliminate male domination to bring equality amongst male and female. There is need to create new world of women were she is not suppressed or oppressed by males neither in house nor in society. There is need to restructure family and traditional marriage structure to give equal rights and status for women in the house. If this comes true then there would be prosperous future for women in traditional marriages. This sensitive issue of traditional marriage is dealt in Chitra Divakaruni and Bharati Mukherjee’s short stories. Both writers come from traditional Hindu cultural family of India. Their experience regarding traditional marriage is depicted through these short stories. They reveal new women’s psychological minds condition and attitude towards traditional marriage. This new women’s are escaping from male domination by finding different ways like living in relationship, silently disappearing and remaining single by adopting child or by use of reproductive technology[IVF]. Many Indian writers like Kamala Markandaya, Anita Desai and Shashi Deshpande have raised their voice against traditional marriage through their works. Deshpande in ‘The Binding Vine’ says:
