Who has never heard the Javanese phrase so inherent in our hearing, "Suarga Nunut, hell katut" (red: To heaven come, to hell carried away)? For Javanese, this expression mirrors a woman's loyalty to her husband, following him wherever he goes, be it heaven or hell. Loyalty is a mandatory criterion for Javanese women, signifying faithfulness under any conditions, both happy and miserable. One form of loyalty is seen in accompanying her husband to heaven and hell.
While in most societies, this expression is often interpreted as indicating the inferiority of women as wives in domestic life. It describes the wife's position as if she lacks power over herself and her desires, with her husband determining her happiness (heaven) and misery (hell). Despite this, such interpretations are frequently affirmed and continuously promoted by religious and community leaders. The doctrine of "heaven nunut, hell katut" is a crucial aspect of every wedding ceremony, slowly ingraining this less egalitarian mindset in society.
