Despite the relatively chauvinistic times the story of Rikki-tikki-tavi is set, the wives play a considerably important part. Teddy's unnamed mother is central to the decision for Rikki-tikki to remain in the household, Darzees' wife has an important part in Rikki-tikkis' plan to destroy Nagainas' eggs and ultimatley Nagaina proves to be a more dangerous enemy than her husband Nag.
In "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi," the role of the wives (Darzee's wife and Chuchundra's wife) is to emphasize the contrast between male and female characters. They are shown as more passive and timid compared to the male characters who take assertive roles in protecting their families from threats like the cobras. Their portrayal highlights themes of gender roles and characteristics in the story.
The woman in story is the wife of the man.
