1970s arrangedmarriage sadness ugliness uglyduckling village

Leela was born and raised in a small village in India during the 1970s. Growing up in a traditional family, she faced pressures regarding beauty and acceptance. Sadly, her physical appearance, as perceived by others, led to her being shunned by peers and rejected by suitors. These rejections deepened her shyness and made forming friendships difficult.

Arjun was raised in a conservative village where traditions run deep. Coming from a respected family, he was always the center of attention, adored by girls who praised his looks and strength. His parents, keen on maintaining their family's status and wealth, arranged for him to marry a girl they believed met societal standards. However, they surprised him by choosing a woman he perceives as "ugly." The decision shocks him; he feels entitled to a wife who reflects his stature and looks.

The story explores themes of superficiality vs. inner beauty, arranged marriage complexities, and self-discovery. Arjun's journey forces him to question societal standards and the true meaning of love and respect.All Rights Reserved

The decision is already made, so you have to" mom said, taking some ingredients from the top shelf. "Mom.." she cut me off. "You are getting married to him and that's the end of this topic" I stromed out of the kitchen angrily, making my way to my bedroom. I hugged my pillow, blinking away my tears. 'No! I won't marry that guy!' Meet Yamini and Arjun and see how they fall in love when they are arranged to get married!

Dharmabandhan: The Shackles of Obligation by Vishash098

Set in the rugged outskirts of Ajmer in an era when societal norms heavily favored patriarchy, this stark narrative delves into the life of Janki, a young woman married off to Rana, a man indifferent to her existence. The union is not born of love or companionship but as repayment for a debt her father could not settle. In a world where women are shadows, unacknowledged and voiceless, Janki's life becomes an endless loop of duties dictated by tradition and obligation. This story paints an unflinching portrait of the grim realities of arranged marriages and gender roles of the time, devoid of heroism, personal growth, or fictional embellishments. It offers a raw, unvarnished glimpse into a bygone society where emotions and individuality were luxuries few could afford.

His Brown Bride by sunrays20

He hated her because of her skin colour, which was dark and not the fair skin colour he preferred. He was forced into the marriage thanks to a promise his grandparents made to her family long ago, a promise he regretted every moment of every day. He had no regard for her feelings or dreams, seeing her only as an unwanted obligation he had to fulfil. He felt disgusted and ashamed whenever he looked at her, and he couldn't bear introducing her to his friends as his wife or even bringing her along to any gathering. In his voice, during their wedding night, he spoke with a tone filled with hate and disgust, "Not just me, nobody can bear to sleep beside you. You're a darkness, a curse, a harbinger of misfortune and suffering. You're like the darkest, most miserable nights, bringing only misfortune and suffering." She married him in poverty, but after their union, he became wealthy. Yet, instead of proudly introducing her as his wife, he hid her from his friends, deeming her unworthy of his social stature. 🩶His Brown Bride

Crossing The i's And Dotting The t's by TripuWrites

It may feel good to be pretty, but the problem with being beautiful is that there are thousands of people who look like you. Ugliness, however, is unique. ------------------- One girl, a walking-talking example of contradictions -- ambitious but naive, kind but blunt, social but awkward -- is living in perhaps the most competitive society in this world. She has a dream, a fairly conventional and acceptable dream, one which every parent would approve of. Unfortunately, millions of others share this dream, and in order to fulfill hers, she has to eliminate her competition, literally. Throw in a fair share of drama. Friends and family, crushes and exes, decisions and choices, and the life story of an Indian teenager would be complete. ---------------------- The last few years of school are the most memorable; grades, stress and career mixed with friends, fun and dreams. But most of the time when we are planning our awesome candid picture-perfect life, we end up crossing the 'i's and dotting the 't's. ------------------------------------ COMPLETED ON JULY 14, 2018 Featured in the teen fiction reading list of Wattpad India!

Zanjeer by Reen2303

Meher never had marriage in mind when she returned home after a year away. But when family duty speaks louder than desire, resistance becomes a luxury she can't afford - and just like that, she finds herself bound to Asad Ahmad Khan. He's everything she didn't expect - gentle, patient, and impossibly kind. A man who seems too good to be true... and maybe he is. As days slip into months, Meher begins to question everything she once feared about love - Could this really be the kind of marriage people dream of? But not all stories unfold in warmth. Some settle in like a chill in the air - unnoticed at first, until it's far too familiar to ignore. It isn't always love that lingers - sometimes, it's the weight of what it leaves behind. A silence not born of absence, but of restraint - a hush that presses in like invisible manacles, slowly tightening around the spirit. Until even breath feels bound, movements measured, and the heart quietly manacled... by something far heavier than love. By something far more haunting, Something as menacing as a Zanjeer.
