Pakistan has some traditions that encourage people to live a beautiful life. In some areas of Pakistan, there is still a patriarchal society where a male should lead the family and a female is considered the human who has to produce offspring only.
A name named Fatima A resident of Karachi shared her story, which shocked me to see how many females in our societies have way too many unspoken words. She got married at the age of 14 to a man who was 10 years older than her. She wasn’t ready to get married because, in her teenage years, most girls wanted to excel in education. Similarly, Fatima wants to study, and even after her first baby, she managed to complete her matriculation in pre-medical with an A.
The story has some intervals after marriage. Her husband’s sister disowned her as a characterless girl.Things got worse because, at the age of 14, she got married. She gave birth to the children one after another because she wasn’t aware of the family planning, due to which she was blessed with five children. The husband’s sister played her role and took her children.
A mother without her children is alone. How cruel society is because no one has the right to take children from the mother. All her five children are not in contact with her, and they are all living in the joint family. Fatima has to perform all her family duties, but she isn’t allowed to meet her children. This thing kept her heart on a hard track. She started to talk with the walls and showed signs of depression.This girl has gone through a lot.
Early marriage and giving birth one after another, along with adjusting to the new home and following all norms, is such a huge task. The girls of our subcontinent abide by performing all the above-mentioned things, and the family wants a girl to react normally in all circumstances. Isn’t our society very cruel in terms of girls? Every lady has some unspoken words that she isn’t able to share with others because, at the end of the day, they fear that they might be tagged as characterless.
