If she fails to meet the expectations of the members of the family, it creates familial tension within the family. It is quite obvious that the working woman is required to play dual roles; first familial roles as wife, mother and housewife and the other as an employee.

Despite various facing constraints they contribute tremendously towards their family and hence it ultimately increases their level of satisfaction and they feel economically independent.
