Whose better - A tamed or an untamed girl?

I was wondering through the streets of my area where on the opposite sides I saw two cows one was tied and the other one was left lose.

It is our Indian ritual to pray to the Goddess cow whenever we pass by. This is done either by touching or by feeding the cow.
As I was passing by, two ladies on the either end were praying to the animal goddess. While the untied cow retaliated the tied one did not.

It was at this time that my inner voice told me – Whose better?

“A tamed and an Indian cultured girl; or an uncultured girl who is let loose”.
While this discussion is never ending and the world is becoming modern, our society still believes that a girl with strong family values would be more welcomed than the latter.
