Women are paying for delivering own babies? | Feminism 2026 is a two-edged sword
In this episode of Mother of Podcasts, we sit down with Anand Handa, matchmaker and relationship coach, for an honest, thought-provoking conversation about how marriage and gender roles are changing today.
Anand shares what he is seeing on the ground: more families expecting women to contribute financially after marriage, while many men are slowly stepping away from the traditional “provider” identity. What does this shift mean for relationships? Is partnership becoming more equal or more confusing?
We also discuss the influence of modern feminism on women’s choices, expectations, and happiness. Are today’s narratives empowering women or putting new pressures on them? And how can couples build marriages based on respect instead of roles decided by society?
A bold conversation on money, masculinity, feminism, and the future of relationships, don’t miss it.

Should marriage still have a provider, or should everything be 50-50?
