This Woman's Journey Fighting The Society’s Expectations Is Inspiring

Darpan News Desk IANS, 03 Sep, 2016 03:04 PM
    This woman’s story about the torture she endured in her marriage and how overcame, is inspiring. 
     
    The society’s obsession with a woman reaching marriageable age is well-known. At times, more than her own parents, it is the neighbours or the distant relatives who are worried about her marriage. 
     
    They start pestering the parents about their “responsibility”, “to get rid of the burden,” because, “what will the society say?” Marriage has ceased to remain a choice and is now an essential social responsibility people that people are obliged to perform when they reach “the age.”
     
    But this woman’s story posted by the Humans of Bombay will tell you something different.
     
    Read the text of her story here.
