@ Mahi,I agree with you. Anandi has done a lot to change lives of widows, so it is a bit absurd that the village people have still not changed their menatlity on basic stuff like widows visiting during marriage functions.
Esha,I think,it is not the mentality of the village people only.
My mom,who is a widow, is not invited to the marriage of our close friends/relatives. She is only invited to the reception,not to the marriage ceremony itself and my extended family is very well educated. I think, it is the age old tradition which comes into play and the fear psychosis that something may go wrong if widows are invited. I do not like this ,but,you cannot force yourself in getting invited.
She feels really bad about it,but,it cannot be helped. For her ,even if I am invited,I do not attend.😛 the marriage.
