In many households, the term “housewife” is synonymous with managing the home, taking care of the family, and being the backbone of the household. However, the reality is far more complex. Many housewives, particularly in India, face financial struggles and are often forced to make difficult choices to make ends meet.

One such story is that of a housewife, often referred to as “Bhabhi” in Indian households, who found herself in a desperate situation. With mounting debts and no source of income, she turned to her landlord for help. What followed was a series of events that would change her life forever.

Moreover, a study by the Centre for Financial Inclusion found that women are more likely to be involved in debt management and are often the ones who have to make difficult choices to pay off debts.
