The concept "othering" means how people see us and how they actually treat us according to our race , skin tone , gender inequality and etc . These relates to the concept of stereotypes.

Most societies believe that young girls especially who have reached 16 years old and above are now old to get married for their well being . These young girls are denied to get a chance to go to school and enjoy their teenage years , to learn about how life can be toxic to them at a very young age .Young girls are forced to get married to old man's so that they can provide for their families and it is believed that a girl nor woman is not supposed to go to school n study in order for them to be independent .

These societies divide the roles of the two genders which are man and woman . Man are the only ones who have the right to go to school , get that degree , work and their word is final whereas a woman has no right to go to school  , get that degree , get a job due to it is believed that woman should respect their  husband's by not working ,they should do the house chores and they should bear kids as much as they can and they do not have a word against man , a man's word is final .

I say that ,  the rules which the societies have implemented they should be removed from the society , everyone should have fully equal rights , both genders should have the right to go to school , be independent  , should have the right to say no to something that he/she doesn't want to do  , everyone must have a final word it shouldn't be one sided .
