India: Grand-Aunt and Feminism

Categories: South Asia, India, Women & Gender

Blogpourri [1] responds to a tag on feminism by remembering her grand-aunt. “She was married at seven to a 42 year-old man. Following the marriage he disappeared, never to be heard from again. A few years later, he was legally presumed dead and my grand-aunt had her whole life ahead of her – as a widow.”
