Life: A School Of Learning

She: My husband did not allow her to study after class V, even though she is very bright. So, what else to do? Marriage is the only thing.

Me: But, why? Your sons are still in school. You are ready to educate them. So, why not the daughter too?

She: As per my husband, there is no need to study as she did not have to work. He thinks girls of good families do not go out to work. It will be the husband’s duty to provide for her.

Me: (Silent with many thoughts going on in my mind ... .To educate a girl would mean money. So, marry her off in the name of “Good family”.)

After 30 seconds:

She: But, it is Ok for him if the wife goes out and does menial cleaning jobs. Then he forgets about what happens in good families…After all, he needs money for his liquor as well as to care for so many children that we have. In my case, it is not his duty to provide for me. I have no problem working to earn money. But if I was life educated, things may have been better. My father had the same reason to marry me off, and I know the same fate awaits my daughter now.

I really could not do anything except advise her:

“If she ever wants to work, bring her to me. I will train her to be a babysitter. After Baby Sitter’s training, she will get a better, and more respectful job after that.”
