Aastha was offered contacts of several men who are looking for partners too, like her mom.
When asked Aastha why didn't she go the usual way, either through a matrimonial site for matches for her mother, she said she had even tried Tinder, but never worked out.
We have witnessed several such cases in India, the recent one was when Kollam-based Gokul Sreedhar's mother Mini, who was assaulted in the first marriage, decided to marry again, and he wrote a heart-warming post on Facebook congratulating his mother. He was happy that his mother decided to choose a life and future she truly deserves.
"She is a woman who kept aside her life for me. In her marriage, which was a tragedy, she has suffered a lot. When I saw her once with blood oozing out from her forehead after being assaulted, I had asked her why she was still enduring it. I remember what Amma told me then, that she was living for me and that she was ready to endure more (for my sake). When I left that house holding my mother’s hand, I had vowed that day, that I will make this (her remarriage) happen,” Gokul wrote. The post went viral with over 40,000 likes and 4,000 shares on Facebook.
Being in a world full of abusers, critics and trolls, like Gokul, Aastha too understands and acknowledges that everyone needs a companion in life and supports her mother's decision to find one. We mostly see mothers find the right bride or groom for their kids, but how often do see this the other way around? Cheers to the passionate daughter for understanding her mother's decision to marry again — it must have been a life changing moment. A single tweet broke multiple stereotypes, and we ain't complaining!
