The scenario here
is still not viable
for love marriages.
Parents spurn
such wed locks
relations scorn.
a few friends help
to unite, the couple
face the society’s wrath.
Some elders drive them
out of the town , few others
murder them.
Love is treason
in most parts of India
where marriages
go through strict process.
selecting by status, money,
caste, religion and education
Wedding out of love
are scarce, if at all
they happen it is heresy.
The match making works
barring few exceptions
which end in divorce.
One man one wife,
is the Indian thought
sacred and strong.
Changing spouse
is akin to changing
colours, It is shame.
“Demeaning’ cries
the Indian who considers
divorce sacrilegious.
