Rainbows everywhere.. Butterfly in the stomach.. Bells Jingling all around.. What not?
what I am talking about.. it's Wedding day. Two persons are going to be one. This is the happiest day of their lives.
But this ceremony is not the same for everyone. Some people celebrate it with huge pomp and show, whereas some literally struggle to manage it somehow.
We as a society put pressure on everyone to spend a lot. If anyone can't, we consider them to be low.
We all talk about girl foeticide but had we ever try to abolish the root cause??
I know the reason is weird but it's hard to make everyone understand especially in rural areas. In most of the cases people don't want a girl due to this reason. Orthodox families consider her a huge burden on them.
An average Indian wedding costs about 20 lakhs and it can go upto crores.
Aren't we wasting resources here?
Why does every father try to accumulate money for his daughter's wedding starting from her birth?
Why he remains tensed all his life because of his daughter? Why he couldn't enjoy himself? After a girl's birth why does he forget all his desires?
And what to say about our beloved mothers. They think about their daughters wedding day and night. Untill she finds a suitable groom for her daughter her nights are sleepless.
Two years ago in our colony, in 2019, a father hanged himself because he was unable to meet groom's demand.
In this pandemic too, no one can celebrate with that zeal but dowry still persists.
Dowry has its own forms now-a-days. Many people are aware of the fact that taking dowry has become shame. They applied new formula by saying "हमें कुछ भी नहीं चाहिए। आप जो भी देना चाहते हैं, अपनी बेटी को दें"
Hahahaha.. How clever they think they are!
Actually they people sell their boys to bride's parents. Isn't it?
Now, trend has changed both ways. Bride's parents too want a government servant/ officer for their daughters. Means they are literally dealing.
Man!!Its' a deal not marriage.
Boys feel frustrated if they can't acquire a secured job because they know it's a big hindrance .
Let us live free from all these hidden criteria. No one will ever talk about it but in real, it goes round and round in everyone's mind. Bride' s parents think their part and groom' s parents think their part.
No one actually cared what they ( Bride and groom) are thinking of. Actually they are the ones who are going to lead the marriage.
It's our duty to make everyone aware of the issue by whatsoever means.
