the story so far....

She is beautiful. She is intelligent. She is educated. She is mother. She is wife. She is daughter. She is sister. She is the victim.

She had a normal childhood. An obedient child to a government servant, she is a darling to her father. She is the youngest one in the family with two elder brothers. Everything was fine until her father died. She was only 17 when she lost her father. Both her brother were also very young. Her mother took the responsibility of the family and moved to their new home. The family lost their support system……..

They tried to fight the evils. Her mother started taking care of the little property that they have in Lucknow. The older son got his father’s job and things started getting better again. Now the first thing that they have in mind was to get her married. She was engaged at 19. They want her to get married as early as possible may be to avoid too much of dowry, may be to get hold of all of the property. So she was engaged. Her husband was a struggling professional. They got married when she was 22. Before marriage, she has no idea of what her husband exactly does, or what is his earning….like most other girls. That is not required as they say. At the time of marriage, her husband was doing nothing. He left his earlier job and was in the search of something new. He took the money that that he got as dowry and used for his new business. He lost all the money in his business. He was jobless for more than a year before he got another job. By this time she was pregnant. They had a daughter. She had a tough time with her in laws. Her father in law is hard man. He beats his wife, in front of her. Her mother in law is an illiterate lady with a foul mouth. They fight constantly. Her husband with his repeated failures become frustrated and started abusing her …..the story moves on.
