Do we really save her when people don't abort the female feotus........ many a times I wonder if it is true, is giving birth enough, does it end the problem, having an unwanted child, thrust upon by nature, law, ......... to a family who longs for a child (son) ?
Being a girl/women I feel it is not enough to just give birth until one fully accepts her as equal human, if not, saving a girl child is meaningless.
"Life of a girl child........... the fight begins, first during the pregnancy detection, if she passes that stage, then at birth, pedas instead of ladoos, it's a girl :( , sometimes that is also forgotten, then starts the expenses and compromise, 'as she has to get married to someone'."
The parents, treat her like a unwanted burden as she grows, blame her for losses incurred in life, watching them the other male/female members, brothers, uncles, aunts, neighbors don't hesitate to share the same treatment with her.
Only she is asked to compromise, take responsibilities, cooking, cleaning, live within means as a temporary member who has to go away to her husbands home.
Unlucky, when she marries someone who shares her parents thoughts, that a wife's place is only staying within the four walls and bearing sons as heirs . If not she is abused, silenced or shunned for ever.
Now a days parents come forward to lodge police complain in regard to their daughter's dowry death, are they not equally to blame for her death? Did they not teach her to accept abuse and compromise on life each day?
Had they supported her and treated her as equal would she have been a victim?
As the brother's never see or realise her equal rights as human and her need to be respected and cared for, they continue to treat her with hatred and disregard.
Funny thing is as boys grow, they are attracted towards other girls who is someone's daughter and many a times during marriage they fight for dowry and wife's right in her parents property for equal share.
Why doesn't that thought come with their own sister ?? when it comes to her, why is it that she doesn't have any rights? Who is to blame for this ?
There isn't a day when news channels report a women abuse in some form. In India almost every house a girl is abused in the form of daughter, sister, wife, only each day she fights just to live for another day of abuse.
Isn't it time we care, educate her for equal opportunities respect her as human and a future partner ? instead of seeing her as a burden or threat. Aren't boys looking for a compatible partner in a wife ??
