I dont know what point these individual cases served (sets of probability
measure zero are only of interest to hardened mathematicians),
but if we are into generalizations then more power to them (the ladies, i.e.).
If Indian women have started getting comfortable with the notion that
their life is their own, to be led the way they want to,
and that their sole raison d'etre is not being a projection of their 
husband's on the two-dimensional plane (also called as a shadow),
then this is good news indeed.
In the long run a truly equal relationship is the desired ideal
but I will live with the transients till then.
