We are living in such a discriminatory society where women have no rights to choose their life partners. They are often forcefully married to those men who they don’t like at all. The wishes of families for the life partners have proved very much costly in some places where some of the girls have attempted to commit suicide, some have left their husbands and some are still living with one another but not sharing beds.
Although education has taken the place of ignorance, many educated people still favour forced marriages. This force marriage has been a long term tradition which has to be broken.
