The incident of snatching the crown of Mrs Sri Lanka just because she was a divorcee is in news updates, and people are commenting their views on the current topic. So here I am sharing a story of a girl who had to deal with stuff due to divorce.
Coming back to the topic, I am sharing my view that what happened was wrong. I have always been taught there is a way to do anything in life. But, unfortunately, there aren’t many ways. It’s either the right way or the wrong way. The way Mrs World snatched the crown was horrendous, and she has been arrested for the same.
Whereas, as per the competition rules, it was also not right on the winner’s part to hide her marital status. The title has nothing to do with feminism, yet it is for the one who is married; that’s why it is called “Mrs Sri Lanka.”
This event is not just where people take out their cringe-worthy thinking towards a divorcee lady. In the roots of society, it is the girl who must be targeted whenever a divorce happens.
I watched a short film on Hotstar named “Purana Pyaar” in which I found Mrs Sharma didn’t remove “Mrs” From her name as she quoted “life is much easier with the prefix” so I don’t think she is wrong anywhere.
I recently read “Excess Baggage” by Richa S. Mukherjee. The book is a must-read for people who love humour. In the book, the protagonist has been divorced twice. She accepted being impulsive in choosing the partner each time, yet she didn’t see anything wrong in being married. No matter what or how long you date each other, the authentic self of the better half unfolds once you share a bed and a roof.
So things happen where it is not possible to adjust with the habits of the other. The novel is a roller coaster of family issues. Yet, I am highlighting things at work, being open-mouthed, quick-witted, and not interested in a guy because of her failed marriages.
I mean, what the hell is wrong with society? Why don’t they live and let live? Why is marital status essential?
That’s true if you are married. You might or might not be busy for social gatherings, but that doesn’t mean if a woman is divorced, she is always ready to leave for parties and night outs. Isn’t it a personal choice?
A girl got married to a boy of her choice at an early age, and in two years of marriage, she had just violence, beatings, screams and drama, so she decided to divorce that guy. But, unlike Mrs Sharma in “Purana Pyaar”, she gives herself years before she thinks she is ready to get married again.
A great point here is that at the age of 26, she wasn’t the one who could choose a life partner. She has a tag! She went on to arrange marriage meetings to self-arranged meetings.
Things she heard was: After two meetings, oops, I approached you because your status was divorced, and I thought you must require something. My wife is pregnant, and I am also searching for the same. She felt like puking on rusty thinking. The most she could do at the moment was to block him.
Then came the guy who wanted to replace her father by constantly monitoring her. She was applying for jobs during which she received 37 missed calls in 15 minutes. On calling back she got a long lecture from him where he said, “what was more important than taking my call?”
A job.
Haha, you have to be a housewife after marriage. What’s the deal with changing now? The most that could be done is to block and not twerk on a toxic person’s commands anymore! A woman is not allowed to chase her dreams. Comparatively lesser when she is divorced!
She didn’t listen to anyone, and it was a hunt in disguise, a lot of broken expectations, but she found herself stronger each time as she saw it’s everywhere the same, home, work, news, blogs. After a certain moment, she stopped listening to anyone as her gut feeling was a guiding symbol of right and wrong!
