I read this article about Bohra women in Rajkot who have stopped cooking. They instead get food delivered from the central kitchen. This of course doesn't come free.
The idea was apparently mooted by the Bora community religious leader and it found favor with half of the Bohra families.
The women freed of cooking chore now apparently have time for other activities. The question that comes to my mind is: do the families get more money now than they used to earlier? Does the wife earn money and contribute to the family finances?
The surprising thing is that the article focuses more on the community kitchen (which is just a simple catering service) than on the money that the wives are making and contributing to their family. I wonder what I am missing.
