A whisper heard- Look at her nose...

Another one- Complexion! what they chose...

One more- The boy is so fair,

she stands nowhere...

It was her first day in the new house...

Was listening everything silently- her spouse...

Nor she said anything- her mother-in-law...

What everyone was doing- just pointing her flaw...

She kept inside everything and the day passed...

Her pain was so deep ,so vast...

In bed, in front of him she cried...

what all they said was just right...

Husband's this response made her shocked...

Her poverty, worth and even life was being mocked...

A new morning. Let's start fresh, she thought...

Unaware... she was not more than a servant brought...

Worked for hours without break but of course with taunts...

A little love, care and respect, that's all she wants...

Within days, for dowry they threatened her to beat...

For days, gave her nothing to eat...

Beaten, tied and they locked her in a dark room...

Husband was ready to become once again, the groom...

Anyhow, she escaped and reached to mandap* so lonely...

Those demons just burned her with that pure vedi** fire only...

One more tale ended so violently...

Why we just spectate such atrocities so silently?

She can be your sister, daughter and even you tomorrow...

If remained mute, soon world will face the inundating sorrow.....

* mandap is the place for gathering during any holy ritual and marriage is considered a holy ritual. (As per Hindu religion)

** vedi means fire altar ( again holy as per Hindu religion)
