Birthing Our Babies

Abstract

A lady in yellow suit entered the house to see the newly wed bride and the bride was tactfully instructed by the grand lady of the house to leave the place, so as to avoid the shadow of the lady. The visitor was sent back without giving a chance to interact with bride. Poor lady also left silently. What was wrong with her?

She was married for 10 years and she had lost six pregnancies during this period and had no live issue. If the shadow of such a lady had fallen on the bride, it would have been bad omen for the bride's future fertility. It is believed, that, the unlucky lady is in a grip of some bad soul. Her family has tried many "ojha's" to break the grip of bad soul over her, but to no effect. She conceives, but it aborts or the foetus dies, or she has a prematurely delivers and child dies during birth. She is unable to understand and is helpless, torn physically, emotionally and psychologically due to social contempt towards her.
