Abstract	If a woman wants to live happily in her in-laws house, she will have to make every effort to satisfy her mother-in-law and her husband. If she fails to give happiness to her mother-law-law, she can’t get with her own life happily. Sudhir Kakar quoted M. N. Srinivas’s comment on the main purpose of a girl’s life, “The summum bonum of a girl’s life is to please her parents-in-law and her husband. If she does not ‘get on’ with her mother-in-law, she will get a disgrace to her family, and cast a blot on the fair name of her mother”. In Karnad’s Bali: The Sacrifice, the Queen is unable to get on with her mother-in-law, the Mother-Queen for two reasons. First, she is a Jain and made her son a Jain to marry him; and secondly, she can’t give her a grandson. In this way, the queen is unable to live happily and even the Queen commits suicide because her mother-in-law excited her son to commit a sacrifice of a dough-cock with his wife, being a Jain, she sacrifices her own life instead of a dough-cock.
