People say a wife’s duty is to foster her husband’s nest and a husband’s duty is also the same. But do they understand it? Or feel the same?
And finally, her forehead painted with red,Ah! She looks so beautiful.Her painted red feet entered into a new abode.A dwelling which she was longing for.
There was radiance in her face.All she wanted was a true soul and a son for her mother.Every day she weaved loved and longed to receive love.
Very soon her illuminated face became foggy.They always criticized and mocked her.The reason was her simplicity.
Her jewel was her knowledge.She never cared for plastering her skin or drape with glitter.Each day she waited for his admiration.
Each day she waited for him to take care of her creator.Each day she hoped,And each day she died.
People say a wife’s duty is to foster her husband’s nest.Equally a husband’s duty is also the same.But do they understand this?
He treated her as a fallen woman,They just needed a golden goose.Still, she strived to survive.
Alas! she was traumatised but hid it with a smile.Until she roared in silence.Finally, she had discarded the recycle bin.
Huh! Folks assembled to see her moist,To bulletin her pain and shower with suggestions.She is already ripened and knows her business.
All she needed aid,From her tribe.But only received hollowness.
She stitched her lips,Deserted her eyes.

The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
It is shameful that in today's world too, women are abused and even killed for giving birth to a girl, and the infant's life is also of no value.
