Yes, in some classic literature, there might be stories that touch on this concept in a more subtle way. For example, in certain period dramas, a submissive wife might face some form of social punishment for not following the strict norms of the time. But these are not in the form of cruel or unethical punishments but more about the social pressures and expectations placed on women.
One thing we can learn is the evolution of gender roles. Submissive wife punishment stories are often set in a time when women had very limited rights. By studying these stories, we can see how far we've come in terms of gender equality. We also learn about the negative impacts of a hierarchical family structure where one person's submissiveness is exploited, and how to build healthier family and social relationships based on equality and fairness.
One story could be that in a traditional family, the wife made a mistake in managing the household finances. As a punishment, her husband made her keep a detailed account of every expense for a month. This was to teach her to be more careful with money.
No, they are not very common. Such stories involve a rather specific and somewhat non - mainstream relationship dynamic. Most relationships don't involve this kind of power - play with spanking.
No. These stories are not appropriate as they objectify and demean women. They promote an unequal and often disrespectful view of relationships, which goes against the values of equality and mutual respect that should be present in healthy relationships.
It depends on how they are portrayed and the context. If all parties involved are consenting adults and the stories are about healthy, respectful relationships, then they can be considered ethical in the realm of fictional exploration.
It's a rather odd concept as punishment isn't typically positive. But in some stories, what seems like punishment at first turns out to be a catalyst for growth. For instance, in a story where a wife is always overspending and her husband cuts off her allowance for a while. She initially feels punished but then learns to manage finances better and it strengthens their relationship.
I don't support the concept of 'wife training' as it implies an unequal and patriarchal view. In a healthy relationship, partners are equal and respect each other's autonomy.
There are stories where Indian wives show submissiveness in a positive way. A wife may submit to her husband's career - related decisions if it benefits the family as a whole. Like, if the husband gets a job offer in a different city, she might support the move without hesitation. It's a form of submissiveness that is based on mutual understanding and the greater good of the family unit.
One possible story could be through communication and mutual understanding. For example, a couple had constant discussions about their roles in the relationship. The husband shared his needs for a more organized home life, and the wife, realizing the importance of it to him, gradually became more submissive in taking on household management tasks. This was a positive change as it reduced stress in their relationship.
