A married girl

This society I belong to, expects a girl to get married young and tender,with no relations to her family or pursuit of dreams. She becomes an object of the husband’s family, expected to serve like a slave. An educated woman carries business only out of home and the uneducated, becomes one with all the house chores. Her basic demands are seen as highly disrespectful in this unforgiving society. She is given no time to adapt to the new environment, this new home, but people still expect unreasonably, enough to be cunning and disrupt the relationship of the couple. The husband then tends to relay the pressure onto his wife ,completely overlooking the wishes of his partner. 

This generation has taught us women, our self-worth. This is what education gave us, but society never has and never will  tolerate women with voices of their own.
