Nurse: Congratulations, it’s a healthy baby girl.

Mommy’s darling and a piece of her heart,

A part of Daddy’s soul and his princess,

The brother’s best friend,

And Yet the Girl Child Suffers…

 

Her father is her hero,

Her mother is her superwoman,

Her brother is her warrior,

And Yet the Girl Child Suffers…

 

For her inspiration, she looks up to her brother,

She wants her guy to be like her father,

She would fight the whole universe for her family,

And yet The Girl Child Suffers…

 

But,

Her father gives her away in marriage to someone she doesn’t like, to save his reputation,

Her mother says that girls have to adjust according to the society, because she has done the same,

Her brother couldn’t or maybe wouldn’t do anything about it because she’s destined to suffer.

 

And Yet The Girl Child Suffers because she was ready to fight against the universe, for them.

 

 

When I first met her 4 years ago, she was the liveliest, happy to go and a beautiful person. She was the most pampered in the family back then. The favorite of all. She had the most possessive brothers. She had the most loving sisters. Overall she was the most protected person.

And then all of a sudden the sun rose from the west. A match whom she never thought would have turned her whole world upside down.

The match was none other than her brother-in-law’s younger sibling. Assuming the closeness with the family, she had agreed to consider the match. When she started interacting with the guy she had understood that this was definitely not going to work. He was not the guy that she would be marrying, having kids and stay happily ever after. And like every other girl would do, she had told her family expecting them to support her. Expectation!!! The biggest mistake any human would ever do. She had done the same mistake, expecting her parents to support her, her brothers to protect her and her sisters to stand up for her. Infact, her sister thinks that life is all about being filmy and suggests her to get married so that they would both have the same “in-laws”.

Now coming to the guy she is being forced to get married to, this guy is in abundance of self respect(sarcasm intended), that when she had told him in all the ways and emotions that she couldn’t and she doesn’t want to get married to him, that they could never ever be happy in their life after their marriage, What does he do??? He just dusts her cry for freedom like dirt off his shoulder. And have I forgotten to mention that he has also destroyed her career by stopping her from accepting a lifetime opportunity of going abroad.

And now she is ready to sacrifice her happy, beautiful and colorful life, her promising career just to fulfill her sister’s filmy fantasy, cover-up her coward brother’s incompetency to save his little sister, go along with her mother’s stone age concept of girls adjusting and compromising in a marriage and saving her father’s reputation in the society.

AND SO THIS IS HOW THIS GIRL CHILD SUFFERS!!!
