This heart-wrenching story went viral on Facebook of how a girl, happily got married to a guy and it ended in a most dreadful manner ever. The girl shares how she was engaged for two years before she got married and the years of being engaged were as normal as it can be. She was happy to have such in-laws. But she experienced very different things right on the day of the reception. Few month into the marriage were nothing less than a nightmare.

Here’s how she narrated her story:

On the 24th of December 2015, I got married. Prior to this, I had been engaged for two years. Those two years felt completely normal, and nothing was unusual. I started seeing things differently on the day of my reception when I walked in with my husband with my favourite music in the background. My father-in-law stated that his side of the family was shocked and ashamed by my behavior, and thought of me as immodest. I remained silent, even when they criticized my parents and my upbringing.

When I talked to my husband about this, he confronted his parents. He was hit with backlashes like ‘You’re going against your parents over this worthless girl’. And after that day he never talked about me with his parents again. Not being satisfied with the dowry I brought, they left all my valuables to be ruined in the rain and open air. For them, the items were not expensive enough to be worth keeping.

They closed all means of contact for me. My phone was taken, the landline was cut-off. I could only talk to my mother through my husband’s phone. The only thing left for me was to do the house chores. A month into the marriage and they began their demands for a child and when I wasn’t expecting a child a month after my marriage, they sent me back to my parents’ house and ordered me to get checked from a hospital.

I did as I was told. When the reports came, everything was right with me. This was not what my in-laws had expected, and hence, they didn’t accept it. I was only allowed to eat one egg a day, and they didn’t let me have milk because they said I would finish the supply. I had to drink it in the morning secretly.
My husband would tell to spend all my time with his parents, ‘Don’t sit with me’, he would say. My in-laws used to text him in the middle of the night asking for stuff, just to keep him away from me.

After getting tired of all this drama going around and his parents constant complains about me, my husband dropped me at my parents’ house in March. He told me that he would come and take me back, but he did not. I called him every day and tried everything to get in touch with him. I told him to take me back and that I couldn’t live without him. But finally on the 13th of September, he gave me a divorce, and at that time I felt like it was judgment day for me. To him I had died, I cried a lot, with my parents. My mother had bought my things with so much hope and dreams, so I can only imagine how she felt when she went to pick up my things.

I just wanted to stay with my husband until the end, because I loved him. The way he broke my dreams, hopes and ruined my life – I’ve left that to Allah. He betrayed me. I got back up on my feet for my parents again. Now I’ve started my MBS, after my MCOM, and I’m doing a job at a very good company. I won’t ever be able to forget that phase in my life. The degradation they put me through or the number of tears they made me shed

I never said a word, I only cried. My father-in-law was terrible, he was a tyrant and would involve himself in everything between me and my husband. My message to everyone out there is if two people are living together happily, let them. Don’t ruin someone’s life just because you think you own it. And to the girls who have been through same, never give up. Allah is watching and he will do justice. Until then, keep moving.

Later, she claimed how her in-laws did not let her eat more than one egg and didn’t let her drink milk because they thought she’d finish the supply. Her in-laws wanted the girl to get pregnant right after a month after her marriage and when she didn’t, they sent her to her parents for a checkup. She came back to her in-laws with no impurities in her which was hard to gulp down for her husband and his parents. After which they started creating major issues.

It’s sad to see even today, these things are being practiced in some households and so many young girls have to face such struggles after marriage and tolerate the abuse by their husband and in-laws. Such a sad state of affair. We hope every married girl is treated with respect and utmost love and care because that is indeed what she deserves.
