adocs: This is the text from the Shulchan Aruch:
Shulchan Aruch (Y.D. 240:17): Both men and women are equal in being required to honor and fear their parents. However, the woman does not have the ability to fulfill this Mitzvah because she is subservient to her husband. Therefore, she is exempt from the Mitzvah of honoring her father and mother while she is married. If she gets divorced or widowed she is obligated.
The Shach adds: It would seem that she is obligated if the husband is not makpid.
Syag: Your above sarcasm seem to be derisive of what the Halacha states.
