The time is 2:45 p.m. The duty doctor is just in bed with sleepy eyes just to rest. The call from the emergency is real. It is like falling asleep in the eyelids, in a state of emergency. Female patient, the sheet is wet with blood. The color of the face is pale white. Looking at the clothes, it is understood that the new marriage has taken place. The patient's name is Rimi. The doctor wanted to know the history, what happened? The patient was accompanied by newly married son-in-law and 4/5 others.
Upon hearing the doctor's question, the patient's groom left the room like a thief. One of the women who came with the patient said sharply, ‘Become a doctor, don’t understand why, everything has to be said! In their village, one wedding song after another is being played on the microphone at the top of the tree. Everyone at home is busy getting married. The groom's party is busy trying to show the aristocracy and personality in the message. After bargaining, what was received as dowry from the bride is no less.
But the age of the bride has decreased. The baby girl, named Rimi Begum, has just turned 14 and is 15 years old. The girl's father is also happy to say goodbye to the girl by wearing a red sari. If you are a girl, you have to say goodbye. Taught the girl up to class seven. What less! Moreover, it is heard that the boy is also good. Sitting in the backyard, the boy's uncle said the brides father that , "Where can you find such a boy,
Besides, there is no problem even if the boy has a little guilt, it will be fine after marriage. 'After the marriage formalities, the girl was brought to her new house. The girl who has just begun to learn the definition of life, going from childhood to adolescence, before she understands anything, is her nightmare tonight. In this patriarchal society, it is a celebration of chastity. And marriage is just a social legitimacy. The society has advanced a lot, but the opinion of the girl at the time of marriage is still minor.
If the daughter is not consulted or gets married after giving an opinion to someone in the family, then we can say this not only a forced marriage but also we can say this rape. Rimi wants to shout, but Rimi has learned to understand that she shouldn't shout in the naptial night. A false attempt to get out of the lust sacrifice of the groom by throwing hands and feet. Rimi, soaked in blood, is the ‘groom’ of social norms, when he returns to reality from primitive bestiality. Even then the blood is going.
Gradually the color of the face is becoming pale white! Rimi is now lying unconscious in a hospital bed. While he was being taken to the hospital, Rimi's eyes fell on the in-laws. They were whispering, laughing sarcastically. As if all the fault is Rimi's. She is afraid to look at anyone in shame. Then the roar of an engine-driven car. Some more random moments. After a while, a doctor in a white apron came and grabbed his hand.That's all I remember. The doctor, accompanied by a nurse, examined Rimi Begum. Terrible type of perineal tear (rupture of genitals and its surroundings). Even then a lot of blood is going. The pulse was seen in the hand. Very few. The patient needs to be given blood on an emergency basis. In case of emergency, the torn part has to be repaired. It is the duty of the doctor to take care of this critically ill patient.
Madame was called that blood is needed to manage in the first treatment.those who came with her(rimi) had been screaming in front of the emergency room for so long. The doctor came and found out that there was an urgent need for blood. Then everyone is silent. Some moved aside to cut. After a while, the patient's family members informed that they would not be able to collect blood. Whatever it is! The doctor tried to explain to them.But they didn't agreed. Al last They agreed to collect blood until the end of his rebuke. But there was no bloodshed that night. Rimi was taken to the operating theater and the tear was repaired. In the morning, all the people of the patient's father-in-law's house disappeared. Rimi's father came that morning, blood was collected somehow. Six days later, the patient developed septicemia.
The infection has spread to the blood. Good antibiotics are needed. The patient's father came and said they could no longer afford it. The doctor suggested that if you were admitted to a government hospital, the cost of buying medicine would be saved. But, hospital means that one has to stay by the side of the patient while leaving work. Want to take it home with the release, which will happen. Rimi was taken home with the release.
He was admitted to the hospital again four days later due to further illness. The next day at dawn. Rimi opened his eyes once and closed them again. That closed last close. No one could see whether the eyes were burning with hatred towards this society. Farewell to the cruelty of life in the dim light of dawn! Rimi died of ‘acute renal failure’. Medical hospital was asked for dialysis, they will not be able to bother the patient so much. After that night from the father-in-law's house, no one came. What is their concern, if one wife dies, ten wives are found! Rimi is not alone, such incidents are often seen. These incidents are not revealed for fear of eye shame.
