WALKYTALKY  written with a window`s phone during morning walk off road, an odd memoir Dt 05.02.2015.  

Good morning it's a 2005 incident. Fact....A lanky man may be thirtyfive years old came with a girl of sixteen or seventeen. He waited till all other patients finished their consultation positioning themselves at a spot within my vision through window.

 At last the duo approached me. “Sir please examine her and opine whether she is fit to be a mother or not?” He asked. He was not an illiterate man. He approached in a polite way.

 The girl had no reaction except some anxiety not denial, just like a twelfth standard student appearing an entrance examination. One wanted it but feared it and loved it with a hope to pass it. Here she was to be the real specimen of examination though.

The man unfolded himself.

 He married the elder sister seven years back, staying together, with no issue and issues. What to do other than marry again? Under family pressure he wanted so he stated. To this his in law family suggested to give their second daughter to save the first being deserted. The man's family wanted the other girl to prove her fertility first. (Means before marriage) The man was extra cautious and wanted a prior medical examination. May be in one sense he wanted why should he take the load and use a girl if she's not use worthy as per his level of thinking.

 I was taken aback. As a gynaecologist I imagined from the angle of the girl who remembered being a good daughter being a saviour sister, but but but!!!

 How friends you react here?

I was totally shocked and reaction less rather fell short to react.

I suggested without a pinch of emotion, " Man, King Dasharatha had three queens and Ramayana says all became pregnant after taking charruanna, may be actually he himself had some problem and he took charruanna that solved the problem."

 I am not sure that I did justice to the situation and was not in a position to inform police or follow it up. It churns me till date. I think can never ever get the true answer. I saved me, explaining them; this was legally and ethically not possible to examine the girl. I hope the man must have visited the next gynaecologist or andrologist but with his wife not sister in law.

 A fact can be more sensitive than a fiction. We are celebrating year of woman empowerment, and here was a tragic story even if there was not a single villain as they all represented as if they were sane and rational. Pointing finger to others is easy putting house in order may be ….
