In Girls by Mrinal Pande, why was everything in life a problem for the mother?

The mother sees everything in life as a problem because of
the social condition in which she lives.  The primary social condition for the mother is
one where girls are seen as inferior.  They are not boys, and because of this, all
aspects of a girl reflects potential for problems.  I think that this is where the
mother comes across as one who sees everything as problematic.  She has internalized the
Indian rural condition, one that strongly favors the political, economic, and social
elevation of men over women.  The mother is embedded in this social fabric, so much so
that she cannot see anything past it.  In contrast to the idea of seeing what is into
what should be, the social order has embedded itself so much into the psyche of the
mother that she can no longer see anything other than how the social order can perceive
reality.  In this light, she sees everything as concerning problems regarding girls. 
The fact that girls have to be married represents economic hardship with practices of
dowry and appeasing the son- in-law and his family.  The lack of economic and social
autonomy reflects the overall powerlessness that the mother perceives and that women
actually experience in Pande's construction of rural India.
