Raped..on her wedding night - INDIAN SOCIETY !

"My Mother Got Me Married To My Cousin And My Wedding Night Is The Most Horrific Memory Of My Life " 




Talking About Marriages , In Sociological Term Is 'A Legally Sanctioned Union Of An Adult Male And An Adult Female ' But In Layman's Language Marriage Is ' Having Sex With Your Spouse  Whether they want it . Or not '... Having Sex without Permission Of his/Her Is Termed As 'RAPE'.whether you're married or not .Which is Considered As A Taboo , In The Society We're living.

Marriage Within the 3rd Generation in the line of ascent through the mother and 5th Generation in the line of ascent through the father is called 'Sapinda Relationships'. And Marrying Within the Spainda Relations is termed as "TABOO'. Now getting to the point , it is the story of an south Indian GIrl who is Emotionally-Forced To Marry her own brother .Marrying the Son Of The Brother of her own mother.          




"I had always wondered how arrange marriages really work .You marry a stranger and you have to spend your wedding night with a stranger in bed . Where he would probably not be able to resist touching you.It Is most thrilling adventure of their live isn't it ? Or it is as scary as it seems  to me ? Well for me I can say . it was anything but all sunshine and rainbows.


In my head . I had it painted ever since  I understood what couples do their bedrooms . I had dreamt of perfect night with my husband because i knew it only comes in a lifetime .at least thats what we wish for.

If not with my love, I’d at least fall in love with my husband the first time we sleep next to each other.


That's what i thought .Unfortunately.I wasn't lucky as my friend nandani Who got married recently and she probably experienced that i only got to dream of .Of course , how could i live my dream ? i fell in love with a boy in my college but i got married to my brother , My first cousin , My mother's Brother's son .Yes the one i was probably supposed to play house with as kids . I was forced to do coupley things with him . That was playful only for him . And it how all it happened .


The little town i lived my family was more oppressive than conservative and my  mother says she had to endure lots of hardship to bring me up in the society we lived in  because apparently i was very outgoing and fun-loving south Indian girl . was it bad thing ?? and it is not her job as a parent to bring me up ? But , i have to pay price for her misconceptions because she was an over-dramatic mother even though sometimes i know she was acting her emotional black-mail always worked on me 


Unfortunately I left my home for higher education and there i met Deepak . and he was a senior in m college .He respected me for who i was not on how i repeated my clothes after ten days .he kept on telling me that i have a potential and i couldn't wait to graduate and conquer the world .He and i eventually fell in love.
.




But my mother had other plans for me , the year i got graduated i was told i should get married -to her brother's son .No less no offense to south inidan traditions but this culture of marrying your own cousin to ' TO STAY WITHIN THE FAMILY' always made me to question my morality . I tried to calmly reason with my mother and tell her about deepak .She instantly flew into a sentimental rage. ....... Read my rest of story
