Some believe that sending a daughter to her in-laws on Wednesday may create hurdles in her married life.

Indian culture is full of age-old traditions and beliefs passed down through generations. One such belief links Wednesday with what’s considered an “inauspicious” time to send married daughters to their in-laws’ homes.

Astrology Connection: Wednesday is dedicated to planet Mercury (Budh), considered the ruler of intellect, speech, and communication. Some believe that sending a daughter to her in-laws on this day may create hurdles in her married life. Astrologically, Mercury and Moon are said to be rivals — and since Moon represents travel, journeys on Wednesday are considered inauspicious. (Photo – AI)

Travel Concerns: Another belief is that traveling on a Wednesday may bring obstacles or even accidents. Hence, families avoid sending daughters off to their marital homes on this day. (Photo – AI)

Family Relations: Some traditions suggest that such travel may trigger quarrels or bitterness in family relationships, creating unnecessary tensions. (Photo – AI)

A Social Belief: There’s no scientific evidence behind this practice. For many, it’s just a custom followed in society, while others choose not to believe in it at all. (Photo – AI)

What’s Considered Auspicious on Wednesdays? Despite these taboos, scriptures say certain activities bring good luck if done on Wednesdays — like opening a new bank account, buying insurance, financial dealings, or storing goods in a warehouse. (Photo – AI)
