Why? 4. Can you advice Riana about how she might be able to convince her parents about going to Delhi for further studies?

Answer 1

Riana's parents would have thought that she is too small to travel to another place and live on her own.but however in most of the indian families,this problem arrises due to the gender bias.people think that this society is not so safe for girl children nowadays,their point is actually valid.but on the other hand it's all about Riana's carrier.her parents may trust the institution that she is applying for and also can make a trustworthy gaurdian in that place.

in general this case is about discrimination.
