A remarkable woman, Afzal. They do exist the world over, I'd say.
And men too of the same ilk. Most of us would not have the fortitude.

I'm sorry sweetie. I didn't know you were calling. I assumed it was "you
know who". I tried to answer before you hung up. I didn't understand what you were saying in the message.

I'm not sure that I can be here, if my mom wants on the computer.
If that is the case, then I will be back here in about 1 1/2 hours, if you are still awake.

Yes, things like that don't happen around here. If a woman did that here, she would likely be viewed as a hermit, and unable to cope.

Sunny ,
There are million of ladies who have sacrificed their lives to keep the honour and values of the Indian custom . It's quite common India and really commendable on the part of the women to be so dedicated and self-less in this part of the world.

Wow, amazing dedication and sacrifice, though I find it unnecessary.
Of course I'm of the western mentality.

Although in the east this is obviously perceived as a honourable thing to do - living in confinement thereby honouring her husband - in the west, however, I find this hard to fathom. It seems like a waste of a life to me (and don't get me wrong I'm not "bashing" your customs). Interesting story and custom.

This is definitely something you don't hear about often. She must have had a truely deep love for him. This was very well written, love.
