Young Daughter-in-law, 12th class) is a 2024 Tamil television drama series which airs on Star Vijay from 22 January 2024 and is also available on the digital platform Disney+ Hotstar.

Plot
In a tightly-knit community governed by tradition, Tamilselvi, a spirited young girl, harbors a fervent desire to pursue a career in medicine. However, her aspirations clash with the deeply ingrained beliefs of her parents, who adamantly oppose the idea of their daughter venturing into a male-dominated field. Despite her unwavering determination, Tamilselvi finds herself at odds with her family's expectations, with only her sister offering solace and encouragement amidst the disapproval.
As societal pressure mounts, Tamilselvi reluctantly succumbs to the weight of familial pride and cultural norms, resigning herself to the fate of an arranged marriage. Her betrothal is to Sethupathi, the son of the village's influential patriarch, a man staunchly opposed to the education and empowerment of women. Forced into a union that threatens to stifle her ambitions and curtail her freedom, Tamilselvi confronts the daunting prospect of relinquishing her dreams for the sake of conformity.
Yet, amidst the constraints of her circumstances, Tamilselvi refuses to surrender to despair. With unwavering resilience and indomitable spirit, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Through perseverance and courage, Tamilselvi begins to challenge the oppressive norms that confine her, defying the expectations placed upon her by society and forging her path towards fulfillment.
