In Hinduism, we say that having a son opens your doors to salvation because now you have someone to give fire to your funeral pyre. This is the reason that having a son in Hindu families is so important. But why are daughters exempted from being the way of her parents’ salvation is still unknown. Why aren’t they allowed to burn funeral pyres?
