what is the problem with manglasutra ?

i quote my post from page 1...

(a). why should a symbol of marriage define a lady...
(b). marriage is a private affair, no one else need know about it and create gossip about a lady, or create a situation where she cannot divorce.
(c). why should be married lady be automatically more respected than a unmarried one...

some woman wear them. some don't
unless you are glaring at a female's neck you might not notice

then there is no need to waste resources on making this artifact... insisting of keeping it will mean being loyal to regressive and meaningless tradition, and superstition.
