Damayanti surprised her husband. She expressed her willingness to abort her child!
Damayanti came to this house when her parents forced her to stop education and step into married life. At the time she got married to Muralee, the eighteen year old boy from the next village, she was just fifteen years old. Now she was nineteen, the mother of two girls and expecting another.
When she got pregnant for the third time, she was literally warned by her in-laws that they didnt want another girl child. They needed a boy who would become the pride of their family. They even threatened to ruin the life of Damayanti and her daughters if she didnt comply.
She was scared but had full faith in her husband. She knew Muralee would support her in every situation. During her last six months she was so tortured by her in-laws that it led her to the doctor for a sex checkup of her child. The doctor confirmed it was a baby girl.
Now, Damayanti couldnt make up her mind. The in-laws will ruin her life. Compounding her dilemma was their financial condition; their situation wasnt good they could hardly provide adequate food, education or health measures to their children they already had. She gave hard consideration and after crossing that mountain of thoughts, she decided.
And her decision took Muralee by surprise. Although Muralee was an uneducated laborer, he could understand his wifes sentiments. He knew that it wasnt possible to force Damayanti to change her mind, so he told her that, although he was not happy with her decision, he would stand by her. Damayanti stood strong her decision, but she also wasnt happy. How could she be when it was her own child that she wanted to kill? But she felt helpless.
A few days passed by. Then one day, she received a letter addressed to her. She opened it and as she read, her eyes were full of tears. She couldnt control herself; the letter was completely wet with tears.
That night, she told her husband she changed her mind. Now she will deliver the child. Muralee couldnt have been more delighted; it seemed like he was the happiest person on earth. After exchanging a few emotional words, he wanted to know what made her change the decision. Damayanti showed him the letter.
