Owning a home as an Indian woman is not a luxury. It’s power, protection, and permanence.

In this episode, I talk about why buying a flat or property in my own name is deeply personal—and deeply political. From being financially dependent on parents in your 30s, to being told that a woman’s real stability comes only after marriage, this conversation unpacks the quiet ways patriarchy controls housing, wealth, and autonomy.

We grow up watching men inherit homes while women are expected to move—from their parents’ house to their husband’s house—without ever truly owning either. And when things fall apart, women are often left with no property, no security, and no bargaining power.

This episode covers:

• Why marriage is not financial security for women

• The emotional and psychological shift that comes with owning property

• How property ownership changes boundaries, confidence, and decision-making

• The fear of living at someone else’s mercy—and why that fear is valid

• Real estate as long-term wealth building for women

• Why Indian women should use every advantage available: lower stamp duty, tax benefits, and better home-loan optics

This is not about “settling down.”
