We have abundance of knowledge, we have conquered space and the oceans but we still live inside the same well of our social and cultural norms. Unfortunately in India every year around 5000 women are put to death for the sake of dowry and many thousands more women suffer humiliation and harassment silently on this issue. The saga does not end with dowry, the second danger zone is conceiving a child and the third is to give birth to a SON and the fourth and the fifth, expectations go on building. A society that treats women in this manner is deplorable.
In the above case, if she is not conceiving why only she is blamed. It is a matter of infertility and even the husband could be responsible. Has he undergone any such test for infertility?
Many couples go under various tests to ascertain and treat infertility problems and after several years they resort to test tube or whatever method that may be suitable.
However, It is so painful that the in-laws are always have two different expectations. One for their daughter and one for their daughter-in-law. They do not want even the slightest difficulty for their daughter but are stone faced towards their daughters. This attitude has jeopardized many a families in our society.
Also, in terms of employment, both employee and employer critically evaluate each other regarding duties and responsibilities as well as benefits, perks etc etc. Various applications are filled with all necessary data and interviews are conducted and then the employment contracts are signed. After going through all these process, the employee has still the option to leave the company if there is any major dissatisfaction or the employer may terminate the employee for non-performance. Whereast while choosing a spouse very least consideration is given to find all relevant data about the spouse and their families. Most of the aspects are assumed and therefore problems appear from day 1 of the marriage.
In general, my opinion is that one should be careful in making the RIGHT CHOICES in life and leave the rest to God.
I do hope that your friend gets necessary help from her elders and in-laws.
Sorry for the long post.
