Meri choti behan ki shaadi ko abhi sirf do mahine hi hue the aur aaj baat divorce tak pahunch gayi hai। Jab bhi usse dekhti hoon, dil bhar aata hai। Woh jo shaadi ke din kitne sapne lekar gayi thi, aaj wahi ladki itni toot chuki hai ki sasural wapas jaane ka naam tak nahi lena chahti। Uska kehna hai, "Didi, wahan mera dam ghutta hai। Main khud ko kho rahi hoon। Main wapas nahi jaungi।"

Main uski baat sunti hoon, uske aansu dekhti hoon, par sach kahun to kai baar samajh nahi aata ki use kaise samjhaun। Hamare desh mein kitni hi ladkiyan shaadi ke baad naye ghar, naye logon aur naye niyamon ke saath adjust karti hain। Har bahu ko kuch na kuch sehna padta hai, kuch apni aadatein badalती hain, kuch apne sapne thode waqt ke liye side par rakh deti hain। Shaadi kabhi bhi fairy tale nahi hoti, jahan sab kuch perfect ho। Har rishte mein adjustment, compromise aur samay lagta hai।

Lekin phir jab main apni behan ki aankhon mein woh dar, woh ghutan aur woh tutna dekhti hoon, to mera dil bhi ulajh jata hai। Kya har takleef ko adjustment ka naam de dena chahiye? Kya sirf isliye ki bahut si auratein seh leti hain, meri behan bhi seh le? Ya phir kisi insaan ki mental peace aur self-respect bhi utni hi zaroori hai jitni shaadi ko bachana?

Kabhi lagta hai ki toxic rishte mein poori zindagi ghut-ghut kar jeene se behtar hai ki insaan apni sharton par jiye, chahe mayke mein rahe ya apne dam par nayi zindagi shuru kare। Aur kabhi lagta hai ki shayad do mahine bahut chhota waqt hai, shayad thoda aur samay dena chahiye tha। Bas isi uljhan mein hoon।

Ek taraf meri behan ka dard hai, doosri taraf samaj ki soch, rishton ki ahmiyat aur shaadi ko bachane ki baat। Shayad har kahani ka jawab ek jaisa nahi hota। Bas itna chahti hoon ki meri behan jo bhi faisla le, woh dar ya majboori se nahi, balki apni khushi, apni izzat aur apni mental peace ko samajh kar le। Kyunki shaadi zaroor important hai, par kisi ki zindagi aur uska sukoon usse bhi zyada important hai।
