Question

Read the following source carefully and answer the following question by choosing the most appropriate option.

Draupadi’s question Draupadi is supposed to have asked Yudhisthira whether he had lost himself before staking her. Two contrary opinions were expressed in response to this question. One, that even if Yudhisthira had lost himself earlier, his wife remained under his control, so he could stake her. Two, that an unfree man (as Yudhisthira was when he had lost himself) could not stake another person. The matter remained unresolved; ultimately, Dhritarashtra restored to the Pandavas and Draupadi their personal freedom.

How do you evaluate the position of Draupadi as a wife on the basis of this case?

Options

• She objected over the behavior of her husbands.

• She had the property rights like her husbands.

• The family had complete rights over her.

• She was having hatred feelings for her husbands.

Answer 1

She objected over the behavior of her husbands.
