A couple of days ago, I was going through the newspaper and one headline caught my attention.
"Firstborn's hospital bills to be borne by mother's parents".
After reading further I found out that the concerned woman is fighting a matrimonial dispute with her husband during which time she delivered her child. So she filed an application before the family court seeking hospital expenses from her husband.
The family court order was "Admittedly, it is her first delivery, so it is the duty of her parents to bear the expenses as per customs in all communities"
However, the high court intervened and said that the judge should not use his personal knowledge to decide on cases. It rejected the cryptic order and sent it back for reconsideration.
I now wonder about the cripticism of the judge's mind. He is also amongst those lakhs of people who equate females to money (in the wrong way)
Why are parents of girls still harrassed for monetary benefits. I am appalled by such incidents.
Perhaps this is the reason why many parents still want a boy child so they dont have to burden themselves.
The moment a girl is born, I witness people worrying about her looks, her character, her ability to do home chores and the calculate how much they would have to accumulate for her wedding.
As a result everything that a girl eats, does, wears, says, sees, everywhere she goes even everything she thinks is monitored by owl eyes.
Parents do so much before, during and after marriage but will that ever be enough? When we have the capacity to produce children we should also have the courage to raise them without gender bias.
Be delighted and proud to have a girl child. She is not a liability but an asset that will continually get your return on investment in the form of lovely memories, unending happiness and unmatchable love.
P.S: I hope the judge doesnt have a daughter in law!
CHEERS!
GOD BLESS!!
