expression
a woman has no home of her own in this world
Traditional proverb reflecting the historical view that a woman must obey her parents in youth, her husband in marriage, and her children in old age, leaving her without a true home of her own. Now considered outdated and sexist.
「女三界に家なし」ということわざは、昔の女性の立場を表している。
The proverb 'a woman has no home of her own in this world' reflects the position of women in the past.
The exact origin is uncertain, but the phrase is rooted in pre-modern Japanese social norms and Buddhist-influenced views on women's roles.
