Within 20 days of Marriage…
After a long time, I thought to write something. It is
hurting to see when people use relations like a thing to play. I do not want to
be gender specific but recently something came into light and tore my heart
apart. First thing, Delhi’s Bus gang rape was enough to hurt, anyhow I earned
courage to maintain the peace of my mind because this is the world and I am a
small fry.
I never considered me as a weak female… and I will never be.
I started my new year happily and at the very second day, I obtained a call, from
a girl, I know as a person since my childhood. On 10 December 2012, she got
married and I even attended her marriage.
Gorgeous lady, educated and when I met her in the hospital
on 3 January 2013….I was stunned to see her. I found her badly injured. She had bleeding wounds in her forehead, both
hands and her backbone as well. Left hand’s ring finger nail was fully in blood
and thumb of right hand. The girl had nail marks over her neck and face and
some problem with backbone as well... This was the result of Domestic
Violence.
The girl’s own parents told her to live with her husband,
and no one stood by her side instead the family of the girl said to adjust. She is a girl, is it her fate? I am not a judge to say any decision but I
find it wrong. The girl’s own sister who used to be like her mother denied to
help the girl, and worse thing was, in front of her elder sister who lives
in a very reputed area of Delhi, well settled, the girl’s husband beaten her
cruelly and The so called sister rested on bed.
It was an arrange marriage and since starting girl buried the
hatchet, but till when someone can endure? The mistake was only that the girl
adjusted initially, even given up her career. She opposed violence and asked for help but
her mother said, -“I tolerated when your father did the same… Now it’s your
turn.”
Great…
My personal appeal to you, please be a real man and if
someone is not up to your expectations just leave … do not treat other half as
an animal..
Take Care.
Love and Peace.
