Monologue

By Bidisha Roy

Dear World ,

As a women what is wrong in being single ,unmarried but still being a parent by adopting a child who really needs a family.

You tell me I am a woman I must have a man to protect me as I can't step out of the house at night if I even need medicine in an emergency.

You tell that a women's identity comes from a family so she must marry a suitable man . But if I say Yes I want a family but it's not necessary that I have to marry a man to get it and don't need to even stand behind him.

You classify a woman's life to be dependent on a man .

But she is the one who has to do the household chores .

And if she wants a job it must be a suitable one and according to the husband's suitability and his family.

Why????

So that she can take care of her husband and his things.

You say I am dependent on a man....No.

But what about her own family who educated her and made her today what she is by sacrificing everything and their only daughter they had .

Dear World , In this era , Marriage means everything is equal solely between the two partners with love,affection,care,support and no one will come in between that decision. Also, Kanyadan does not mean that the parent has given you the authority to crash her dreams,responsibilities and wishes .

What about her dreams, aspirations and her own identity .

What if I say world ???That rather being in a toxic environment I would choose to be alone and live a life of a free bird so that I can have everything - A happy life,Being a parent to the one who really needs me, Being the responsible daughter for their parent, doing what I love.The one who would love me will love me beyond any condition and come to me .So, I choose to be free!!!!
