I believe there is a choice who you get to marry. That you don’t have to have a man beside you to lead you through your life. Women are as strong and powerful as men. I chose not to marry a man because I didn’t want to and I certainly don’t need to. Some thoughts came and went about my decision, like being stoned to death.  But, I kept my word, here I am unmarried and happy. I don’t regret the decision I’ve made in my life, but I know the life I have without a man leads as hard. Now my sister’s daughter, Shabanu, is getting married soon and she has the fear of marrying a guy that could be the age of her grandfather! She told me that it became clear that the man she will marry is not trustworthy. Shabanu asked for help and I understand because my husband I had for a very short time abused me. I don’t want anything to happen to Shabanu with this untrustworthy man I heard of. I’m teaching her to learn to use her beauty and charm to manipulate the man and to guard fiercely her innermost self from him.
