ARRANGED MARRIAGE 1313 (English version)
"Kanya Daan" or "Donating Girl" is a ritual in Indian marriage. Are we girls any commodity which is transferred or donated from one house to another???
In india, parents from birth tell their daughter "betiyan toh paraya dhan hoti hai" or "daughter belongs to her in laws and are just guest in her parent's house". And in laws say " yeh toh paraya ghar se aayi hai" or " she has come from someone else's house". Where is our "apna" or "own" house??? Shouldn't after marriage a girl have two homes, double love and double support???
If she will wear short clothes, she will get raped.. You are a girl, you have to learn to adjust.. if you say things then it will lead to a fight in house so stay quiet.. Girls should be formal, cultured and silent... he is a boy he can do anything, but you are a girl you can't
And most important "log kya kehege" or "What will people say" how could I forget the key of our life.
Before anyone says "these are talks of 1990's, now everything has changed". Let me burst your big bubble that you are living in..... Hello!!!!! Welcome to the world of reality. I also used to live in this bubble until 2 years ago. I have seen these thing in someone's house who is very close to me. So, please don't give your gyaan to me.
(And also to some extent things have started to change but still there is a lot of work to do)
In reality, we girls have to fight for every right we deserve be it respect, education, jobs,etc......and we will.
So here is the story of just another girl fighting for her dreams...
