Uma: I got abused by my husband, physically and mentally day in day out, he bruised me, made my life a living hell. I loved someone else, I even thought about him now and again but because I went round the fire 7 times with my abusive husband I gave that priority. My husband also ruined my daughters life, almost killed a guy who respected me like his own mother, the guy whom also gave me strength to finally speak up against my abusive demonic husband but nevertheless I still wear that holy mangalsutra and sindoor for him because marriage is the best thing which happened to me...blatantly!
Suman: I married a guy I knew didn't love me but hey ho, I'm sure he would fall in love with me eventually. I went round the fire 7 times, I put his mangalsutra around my neck and sindoor in my head. I had my husbands children, one boy and one daughter. Are you proud of me? Meanwhile my husband wouldn't stop thinking about this other woman. I'll admit, I craved for his love my entire life but even so I didn't walk out because my mangalsutra and sindoor are very important to me. They give me strength to lead an incomplete life.
Sujata: I went round the holy fire too, wore a mangalsutra & sindoor by the man who loved me and whom I loved back. How lucky am I? That's another thing that he left me and married another woman because he didn't have the guts to stand up for our relationship. But how does that matter? I have my black beads and red powder to prove that he's with me all the time. I was his first legally wedded wife but I couldn't speak up for my rights. I waited for him my entire life but it's ok...I had the support of my mangalsutra and sindoor.
And these 3 women, ladies & gentleman are advising Vividha on the importance of marriage :)
