The content of the play is about a male-dominated family that is not as happy as other families. The wife and daughter-in-law stay at home to do housework and take care of all the family matters but are not respected. The conflict reached its peak when in a fit of anger, the couple decided to divorce. After the divorce, the husband thought about it again, and with the advice of colleagues and neighbors, he woke up and longed to get back with his wife. At the end of the play, the family got back together and looked forward to a happy future.
