Marriage Or Prostitution?
It is said that prostitution is the oldest profession in the
world. To prostitute means to give someone the right to use the
body for a sum. Do all the prostitutes sell their bodies for
money only? Some might be selling their body for food, or a gift
or something else. So, we can say that prostitution means
selling the right to use the body for something in exchange.
Opposite to humans, natures gives itself to others without any
expectation in return. Do these clouds want anything in return for giving us
shade? Do these plants show us their beauty expecting
anything? No. But human nature is different. Let me tell you a
tale.
I want to talk about a marriage where a woman sold her body for
money and also few other things. She is the heroine of this
story and lives in a conservative society, where pretenses are
at times more important than truth. Our heroine was in deep love
with a married man but had no guts to say so. Therefore she
agreed to marry the villain of this story, a man who proposed
marriage in front of her father. While getting married to this
person, she cheated him. She lied to him by hiding her real
love. But that is not the point of my story. Let me come to the
basics.
Our heroine was married to the man/villain in full public view,
so she had no reason to deny that marriage unless she divorced
him. She never loved him, but carried on with this man and let
him brutalize her in all the ways possible. At times, he raped
her seven to eight times a night. Was this a marriage or did she
sell herself like a prostitute for something?
Let me elaborate further. What did she get in return of giving
away her body? Her parents had spent quite a lot of money on the
wedding. If she divorced this man, her parents might have got a
bad name in society. I am talking of conservative countries and
not developed nations. So the first thing she gained by selling
her body was the peace of mind her parents got by looking at
their daughter. That peace was totally false, because the
daughter was neither truthful to them nor to society. But even
knowing all this, the parents had a peace of mind that the
society thought about the daughter as a happily married woman.
Let the reality be totally different. It were pretenses that
mattered. So the first gain - False peace of mind for parents
that society thought of the heroine as a happily married person.
There are many more things, all totally wrong that our heroine
of the story got for selling her body. Let us look at some more.
This girl had got a baby out of getting repeatedly raped by this
man. The baby called this man/villain her father and it seems
that the father loved the baby. Why and if it is really true, is
known only to this man. But outwardly he showed love. A man who
can brutally use a woman's body repeatedly, can love anything
living is impossible to comprehend. But this was shown to the
society. Our heroine got her second payment as a man called
father for her daughter out of rape.
What else? This man/villain said that he had no one else except
our heroine in the world to call as his own. He knew it very
well that the heroine was not in love with him, but had married
him under compulsion of so many other factors. But he
emotionally blackmailed her saying that if she left him, who
else was there for him? Please therefore stay with me, keep the
pretense of a married couple in public and let me rape you
whenever I wish to do. The third profit was emotionally giving
into the blackmail of a brute.
Let me list one more gain, though there were many more. Our
heroine had no strength of character or guts to come open and
say that I want to separate. She did not want to face the
possibility of living alone. She did not want to lose her
respect in the society. So she continued. And the biggest gain?
Before I tell you about that let me add something. Our heroine
was in love with someone else as I told you in the beginning.
This man wanted her to come to him and denounce the marriage to
the brute. He was desperate for that because he could not
tolerate the rapes. They were killing him. But if our heroine
does that what would she tell her daughter when she grows up?
She had no guts to tell her daughter the truth. So she continued
prostituting herself not only in body but also in mind,
character and truth. In the whole process, she managed to kill a
person who was in deep love with her and could not tolerate the
rapes. She gave him a bigger blow when he realized that she
believed in living a liars life forever. This man got totally
broken and might have killed himself, if God had not saved him.
I wonder if our heroine, the brute or the parents will ever get
any peace. Untruth never gives peace but shows the path to hell.
Who is a better person? A prostitute who openly trades or our
heroine? Make your own decision.
