After marriage, the man should leave his father and his mother, and should cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh or one body. This is Scripture – mentioned once at the Garden of Eden and repeated twice in the New Testament. This is overridden by the son’s mother who wants to control her son even after he has been married off to another girl. The spirit of witchcraft possesses the mother who keeps throwing cold water into the warm marriage relationship unmindful of the suffering that the son undergoes; the son struggles to balance between his mother and his wife and tends to fail in favour of the mother now and again. No wonder there is continuous tension between the MIL and the DIL.
