What more you want?

Dia and Shafeen are cooking.


I got to know a girl. She works for a good mobile company. She is living with her husband and 2 kids. And now a day husband’s sister, brother, father (sometimes) and mother (occasionally). She spends all her money on her family, so that her husband can give his money to his parents and raise his other siblings. He couldn’t save money for his own children's future. His wife saves some, but she had expended those in her husband’s sister's marriage ceremony. Now, what is the position of this wife to the family? Everybody loves her for sacrificing everything for this family.

NO, nobody from her in-laws' side likes her. They want more. She kept 2 maids working at home and caring for her children while she worked outside. Her husband’s family wants her to cook for them. They tell everyone they know their sister-in-law isn’t good enough. She doesn’t cook for them! They don’t care whether she should live or not, no matter how hard she works and spends money for them. They want more and more. They have different policies for making her cook. One day her father-in-law boiled some vegetables to eat, and then her brother-in-law asked to stop it, because it would reduce her work.

See, what a life of a woman in Bangladesh. And this condition is very natural in our social life. We don’t think that all are making a woman’s life miserable… We always encourage the groom’s family to be hard on their bride.
