‘If I were a spinster’

  ‘That girl you threw the acid on and tried to burn alive must have asked the question, if only she were a spinster’ Dowry system is one problem of our country that led to the birth of other problems like domestic violence. There are number of cases of domestic violence that are being registered at a vast rate. Marital rape is yet another problem that has to meet justice as it has not been given recognition of a ‘crime’ in our country.     ‘If I were born adult’   ‘That child you abused from time to time must have asked the questioned, if only she/he were born adult’   Child abuse, Child molestation and Child rape cases has acquired an inevitable position in the news reportage after the discovery of so many registered cases. Every second day we get to hear and read news like ‘ a 5 year child sexually assaulted and raped’.   No matter what we have achieved til now, no matter if we are being empowered day by day, till the problem of safety of women in our country has not been resolved we will keep asking, ‘If only I were born somewhere else’.
