“ARRANGE MARRIAGE WAS NOT FOR ME”

That time she was completing her schools. Lots of dreams, hopes, imagination, desires were there in that growing girl. Although she belongs to a small place but aspirations were so high. Among all desires there was one special wish like other girls of having a dream prince as its quite natural feeling of every human being.

She started making   imaginations of her charming prince. The one, who will always love her, will care her, will think first of her happiness, then rest of the world, will always be there in her sorrows and most important he will UNDERSTAND her.

One day a boy came in her life and life became happier than before. It was like stepping towards making dream into reality. She was on 7th heaven. But time is not always same. They became so committed and faithful to each other that they promised to get married soon.

Their story reached to parents and some sort of fear aroused in her heart. Still she had confidence that her father will accept him because she is her dear daughter. But no!! She was wrong. Being dear to parents doesn’t mean that you are free to get married of your choice. All her request  gone in vain.

She was now not allowed to go outside and it was the toughest thing to stay normal without him, her father fixes her marriage somewhere else, without her knowledge and acceptance. She plead a lot but her destiny was already written.

It was only one day left for her marriage and she got a call from her lost love. Listening his voice she lost her control and tears rolled out from her swollen eyes. She could easily feel the pain in his voice but nothing was in her hand. He wanted her to run away with him but after thinking a while she refused his request and hanged up. She didn’t want to see her parents get insulted and humiliated.

Now 16 year passed of her marriage and she is compelled to think again and again that, was she right in making decision? Is Love marriage always wrong and never Arrange???  Should she blame her parents for her fate????

Today she is living with the one who is drunkard to the extent that he has not such time even to talk although she has become used to of this situation because he is same from the day she got married. Domestic violence is normal thing for her, she has no permission to go outside and meet people, she can’t wear the dresses which she wants, and useless debates are the main part of her life. Despite of the fact that she is the mother of two sons she is living lonely and aimlessly. Elder son, who is now 15, has followed the same path of his father and become the supplier of his liquors, morning evening he comes with bottles and provide him all the time. School is not for them. Life seems stuck into liquor smell, loud musics and day night fights. unwantedly that teen love comes in mind who is living happily and respectively because he was a nice boy and is a gentleman today.

  • Yes Afro true!!!

  • So sad! But, it could happen in both types of marriages. Sometimes people may come out sometimes not. And, people from both parts may suffer.

  • Their parents know everything @beethoven

  • She should not gave up to her fate and she should tell her parents about what occurs with her.Thank you for the sad story.
  • Ya keen learner Insha Allah!!!

  • Elen I am also confused to see her condition and others behavior towards her because i have recently shifted in another state.

  • Dear Grace Ra, I also belong to the family where arrange marriage happens and i also have firm believe in arrange but this case is really sad.

  • She must find a good lawyer, but a really good lawyer, who will defend her rights and help her to go away from him. And her closest persons must help her to do that. Why they didn't do something all this years? Why they just visit her? She used it and for her is a daily routine but someone must open her mind and give her courage to fight!

  • I was born in a family who still hold arrange marriage tradition. I never see the failure of the arrange marriage in my family until I read your blog. I am feeling sorry about her, wish she can overcome it 

  • Noaslpls,  everyone knows about her. they just can do is to visit frequently, nothing else.
