A virtuous wife who remains chaste when her husband has died goes to heaven.
A woman who is unfaithful to her husband is reborn in womb of a jackal.

"As a widow one should endure long torment, self-restraint and abstinence until death.
A steadfast wife will remain abstinent after the death of her husband.

"Son, wake up, do you remember that you were married?"
"I don't remember."
"Your Your husband is dead, and you are now a widow."
"How long will it take, Dad?"
Qu Ya, a five-year-old child who was "widowed", lived in India in 1983, smart and lively, articulate and distinct. After her husband died of illness, she was sent to a widow's house by her father. Some of them came here in their 40s and 50s, some in their 20s and 30s, and some, like Qu Ya, under the age of 10. Children may not understand how bearing the title of "widow" will affect their lives. Moved to a new place of residence? Can't eat a lot? Can't do a lot of things? Doomed to be discriminated against by others?
Madumati Didi said, "When the husband is dead, the wife is half dead, so how can she feel pain?" However, even a five-year-old child knows, "She is half alive. Yeah." Maybe a person like Madumati Didi who came to the shelter as a child and has learned to be domineering by torturing others will never understand that it is painful to live. The childishness on his face is in stark contrast to the snow-white sari on his body. A thin body should never bear such a heavy burden. What should have been a beautiful childhood is now only the memory of being imprisoned and bound. Qu Ya's childish words are destined to bring her endless trouble, but isn't human nature supposed to yearn to speak freely? Perhaps in those oppressed times, freely expressing one's true thoughts has become a widow's dream. But, who made this poor child be forced to this fate? parents? Children are the treasures in their parents' hearts. Which parent is willing to hand over the piece of meat in their hearts for such toss? priest? It's just, how can they arbitrarily decide the fate of the widow's gate if there is no "entrusted power"? In times of oppression, the conventional forces of society are so powerful and so terrifying. A girl from a poor family is destined to be married at a young age, and will not interfere with her parents since then; when her husband dies, her wife must be a widow for life, and she can only wear white without color; a widow cannot eat sweets, and her life will be "bad luck" and "dirty". "symbol of.
The water of the Ganges is still clear, nourishing the devout Indians. Dawn, dew, singing, everything is so peaceful, like a western oil painting full of oriental charm. A group of people living in the ancient East accepted the advanced ideas of the West, and they began to follow Gandhi to liberate the widow and the people of India, but they were faced with deep-rooted shackles, which was destined to be a protracted war.
Kalyani and Naroyan are brave warriors who dare to pursue their true love in times of oppression. This is the love story of a young Brahmin-class lawyer who meets a traditionally beautiful widow. If she doesn't know how to read, he can recite the most beautiful poems for her; she is afraid of being discriminated against, and he is willing to take her away; she is willing to follow him all his life, and he is willing to love her all his life. This is supposed to be a beautiful love story, but God doesn't always let lovers come together so easily: after her marriage news was leaked, she was immediately imprisoned by Madumati Didi and her long black hair was cut off; Immediately after the news of his marriage came out, he was opposed by his mother; when the news of her marriage was leaked, he was immediately rejected by the people around her. These still can't hinder their union. What's really scary is that Narayan's father turned out to be the Brahman class Brahman Duwakana who violated Kalyani! His father also said "Brahma can sleep with anyone he wants, and women who sleep with them will be blessed", which is the sadness of an era!
"'On the bay where the kadamba flowers bloom / The kadamba flower is so fragrant / that all the people are fascinated by it / but where are you the beloved?' This is a song that separates lovers But they care about each other's poems, they told Yun about their thoughts and let Yun deliver the letter for them." This is the poem that Na Luoyan recited for Kagliani.
"Come with me, I will love you forever." This is Na Luoyan's promise to Kagliani.
"You go out of this door and never come back!" This is what Madumati Didi said to Kagliani before leaving.
"The times are changing, and all traditions are disappearing." "Who decides what is good and what is bad?"
"My father is Duwakana." This is the scariest joke ever!
All thoughts burn. The holy waters of the Ganges can never save Kalyani, just as it can never provide Patila Jididi with the sweet tooth she has longed for her whole life. Despair fills her heart, dab her fingers with holy water, and wash away her sins. Take off the snow-white sari and go to the place where the dream ends and the place where the dream begins.
The story may end beautifully, but the saint has not yet rescued the poor people, and the story of the victims is still going on, just like after losing Kagliani, Madumati Dedi actually abducted Qu Adam's new cash cow! Shaken Taladidi, who really cares and loves Quya, holds the scarred Quya in her arms, facing the pure water of the Moon River, and facing the widow's tragic fate.
"Gandhi wants to liberate the widow."
"Gandhi wants to come to the train station to pray for blessings!"
Like a puppet, he followed the crowd to the train station and looked at the wise man without a soul. Why must the fate of widows be so tragic? Why does a child have to bear the weight that life cannot bear? Who put so much burden on them? The train moved slowly, and the wise man was about to leave. Take her away, take this poor little girl away! Shaken Taladidi finally couldn't hold back the emotions in his heart, followed the train like crazy, and handed Quya to Naluoyan: take her away, make sure she is taken care of by Gandhi. The train left slowly, leaving only a tearful Shaken Taladidi, a lonely Shaken Taladidi looking back, a hundred years of loneliness, a hundred years of loneliness.
There are mysterious rules in the ancient East, and the experience of widows is only the tip of the iceberg of women's fate under such rules. In the final analysis, this is the oppression of women's power by society. Brahmans, who have a high status in Indian society, manipulate the fate of widows in the name of religion. Of course, Brahmans are all men. They said that they always concealed the laws against them, that they always easily manipulated widows to satisfy their desires, and that they always played their power with applause. This is also the situation created by the long-term unequal status of men and women, but who can change it? This phenomenon has not been resolved to this day, and I believe it will not be in the future. What else can we do other than keep speaking to attract more people's attention? It's just that even if everyone pays attention to this issue, who can change the fact that I am a woman and you are a man?
"My dear brothers and sisters, I have long believed in the existence of God as truth, but I now know that truth is God, and the pursuit of truth is a matter of no cost to me, and I believe it will be the same for you as well. ”
— Gandhi
