I was surprise with what I read today about a dad who strangled her daughter to death for refusal to stay in an arranged marriage. Getting strangled is a major thing and it is not easy to find yourself being strangled by your dad or even your husbands.
Each of us has our own freedom to act and speak according to our heart’s desire. With the limitations of course that it won’t hurt other people and it won’t pose harm to society. We are to live to be happy and contented with life. Let not other people control nor dictate what is good for us.
Sometimes religious practices, traditions, family and society can make us do what is not acceptable to us like arranged marriages or even staying married in a relationship that is not working. Parents and society ought to know that divorce is most of the time welcome in relationships and marriages that is going nowhere.
Like my marriage, we live in the same house, sleep in separate bedrooms and can’t even talk anything without going through an argument. My husband and I don’t have anything in common. And sad to say I’ve been in a lot of stress, humiliation and heart aches keeping up being his wife. Sometimes I feel like I want to run in the fresh early morning air and never come back. I myself got strangled twice by my husband.
Society and oldies need to know that controlling people’s freedom and people’s emotions is not working. Husbands need to know that keeping up marriages for image sake is not working at all and keeping both of you unhappy. There should be change…. We cannot tell and see the future…. You may very well anticipate but it does not always run as you expect it!
