NAWAL Kumar, 40 years old person belongs to a village from Narwana Distt Jind He is a principal of his school and lately under pressure of the Govt. because schools without full facilities are being shut down. He got married to Geetta who is 32 Years old. She is 10th class pass. They have 3 daughters 14 and 13, and 3rd daughter was born after 10 years.She is now 3 years old.
The interval of 10 years speaks of a pathetic story of her life. She had 4 abortions even in one of the abortions she aborted twins one boy and 1 girl. May be those were girl sand hence subjected to abortion. In the intervening period she got coper-T. Went to Narwana and took antibiotic from a doctor.
From a BSc Doctor she took medicines for fertility to bear a third child. she got pregnant. Her husband got “desi dawai” so that she can give birth to a son from Kolayat this time. The quack told them not to get u/s done…She delivered. One and half hours after delivery of another girl the mother started to have fits.
No history of fits earlier. She had five fits in the 3 hour journey. On way to Hospital. Went into depression due to birth of girl child third time. Not being able to give her milk to the child. Even she was not able to stand on her own. Baby was being fed packet milk by cotton. At the time when she was interviewed.
The case study shows the hidden cruelty and pressures of “PARAMPARA” on a women in North India set up.
