As the offer was good, they decided to get engaged for the time being and will wait for a few years to get married.
So today during my office lunch break I had a conversation with my colleague regarding our personal lives and how she manages to work even after the baby. She said that she is doing household chores since she was three years old.
There is nothing new in that. She is habituated to work because she had to support her mother on the days of her mother’s periods, she was not allowed to enter the kitchen, so she had to take charge.
She got an arranged marriage offer from one of her uncle, when she was twenty-two years old. As the offer was good, they decided to get engaged for the time being and will wait for a few years to get married.
But then in two to three months into the engagement, her sister-in-law’s marriage was due as they had almost waited for five years after the engagement, and now they thought it was the right time to get married.
So as it was her fiancé’s sister’s marriage, in order to save cost and time, they decided to get both marriages done at the same time so that every guest doesn’t have to bother to come two times.
Today or after some time, she had to marry, so why not arrange and manage both the marriages together?
My colleague was not given any option, rather was emotionally manipulated, and she agreed to get married. Because of this, she was unable to do her master’s and is stuck in the married life.
She had not enjoyed her golden period of “Engagement to Marriage” because they hardly got two-three months.
All because of the fact her sister-in-law was about to get married.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
