Pathetic condition

Unwillingly ushered in a house of unknown,
Saw a young lady keeping head almost down,
White complexioned girl with eyes dark brown,
almost frozen but expressions not made known

She may be widow and confined to house
She had small hole in house to live like mouse
This practice may be prevalent in many parts of the world
It is still prevalent and firmly holds

Women are kept in captivity and under strict vigil
It may be with a view to save them from devils
Still they are considered as easy object
It rules the mind and concerns the subject

Some of them are done away at the time of birth
They argue it is bad omen and there is no dearth
What can they do to help the elevation of status?
There is no progressive view to provide new impetus

Even in advanced countries, they have nothing much to offer
They consolidate the position but in opinions differ
There is nothing much to offer for their enlistment
There are so many lacunas in approach by establishment

I was at pained to learn its handling in orthodox way
Girl children are still not allowed to have any say
Uncertainty is more and prediction is nothing or less
what is in store for us except to assume and guess?

With great courage the ladies may offer “hello”
Limited conversation as tradition was to follow,
Parents permit only limited talks
Accompany them all the times with few step walks

I gathered the strength and opened the conversation
She was in dilemma and had several questions
There was emergence and development of new relation
She was to leave soon for new destination

I am your would be companion,
Running a sport shop but not a champion,
I will allow you all the freedom that you need,
No dowry, nothing or any more greed,

“Will you marry me” simply I dared to ask
Rushed blood on her face but managed to hide in mask
I did not wait for an answer and okayed the deal
Parents too were ready for quick disposal and seal,

Quick come reply yes as there was no competition
answer was kept ready even without waiting for question,
so stage was well set for lovely meet,
parents were happy and exchanged the greet,

Day for final count down almost arrived,
simple way thought over to wed and not to connive,
It’s way of life and norms are to be followed
The situation is to be improved and allowed
