As stated by Cāṇakya Paṇḍita:

<div class="quote_verse">
:mātā yasya gṛhe nāsti</dd><dd>bhāryā cāpriya-vādinī</dd><dd>araṇyaṁ tena gantavyaṁ</dd><dd>yathāraṇyaṁ tathā gṛham
</div>

"A person who has no mother at home and whose wife does not speak sweetly should go to the forest. For such a person, living at home and living in the forest are equal." Similarly, for a woman who has no son, who is not cared for by her husband and whose co-wives neglect her, treating her like a maidservant, to go to the forest is better than to remain at home.
