This could be an inappropriate post for many. Many righteous beings might find this post blasphemous. Feel free to pass your judgment.
As most of you know, I met my husband when I was 16. After nearly a decade long courtship, we married and had our daughter even before our 1st anniversary. She was preterm but she was 2KG and hence doc said there is no need to keep her in a warmer.
Lo and behold! The couple that was all over the place for so many years had a preterm baby that was not kept inside a warmer. This child is conceived before marriage!
Well, we got married on Nov 28 and had our “premie” on Sep 6. You can calculate for yourself. The human species cannot carry a baby for more than 9 months. So either I should be an elephant or a character in some mega serial to have a longer gestation period. Even after 9 years, the story is doing rounds.
My friends comforted me telling me that even if such a story is going rounds, you married him. So the matter is closed.
THIS IS NOT THE REAL POINT BEHIND MY POST
WHAT IF?
WHAT IF I CONCEIVED BEFORE MARRIAGE?
WHAT IF I DIDN’T MARRY MY CHILD’S FATHER?
WHAT IF I DON’T MARRY AT ALL?
In an era when sex workers are gaining their due respect, girls who conceive before marriage are judged and loathed.
The result!
Kids end up in orphanages. I personally know hospitals that have a tie-up with orphanages to handover these “conceived-before-marriage” kids.
What if these illegitimate kids are born preterm?
When the mother is not ready to claim her child, who will pay for the NICU treatment?
Nobody!
What about their fate?
A whole can of worms will be let out if we ponder more into it.
When will they stop judging an unmarried mother?
When will they shed the sense of entitlement which weighs above humanity?
Above all, when will they learn to wear a condom, for God’s sake?

Our society is full of conservative people so we should be progressive and talk about these things very openly. To make a change in our society we have to change our opinions and thoughts.
This is very controversial topic has our society is so conservative , but we should be more open about it . It is not a crime

The society in which we are living has so narrow-minded thoughts, and it’s a great perceptive we should talk about these things openly.

Honestly everyone in the society is going to drag you down. It’s upto you how you rise above it. We are often misunderstood if we share our thoughts.

Our society likes to believe what they like to fantasize 🙄
One cannot make everyone happy. We will lose our happiness in doing so. So we better focus on ourselves n grow more. Let’s push this society out of our way.

That was so on point girl. Why are women judged for their life choices always. It’s ones choice to have a Child or not. Have it before marriage or after or not at all.

Honestly saying, everyone in the society is so much interested in others life. And because of this they judge people, which is so wrong. Everyone must understand that a person can do whatever they like unless they are not hurting themselves or others.

We as a society really reed to stop making some situations taboo and start focusing on other things. If someone had conceived before marriage then it’s not our place to be judging, but depending on the situation of the mother we should have a way of helping. Talking about this issues is important because it removes the stigma and helps society be better.

Is there a place on the face of earth where we could be less victim of judgments? We indians especially are those who have worshipped ‘slut shaming’ and badged ourselves as the most cultured society!!!

I would say no one can judge no one because only God can judge, but unfortunately people love talking and gossiping about others without looking into their own life! And life is very hard something or circumstances and things can happen in life! We all should look for our lives and not others!

Our society, our communities need to change for good. It is because of such people and their judgements that a newborn has to be given away by a mother(married or not). I did not change my maiden name, but till date I have come across many hospitals where while doing a small blood test, I had to explain that Im married and hve kids but it’s just that my name is not changed and that bothered them alot.

To have a child and when to have a child is completely personal decision. Societal pressure and communities talking is a local affair for every step woman takes so ignoring them and moving ahead with personal notion is best we can do.

Subjecting anyone to such kind of judgement is unfair and downright invasive. Girls having an active sex life before marriage is still a taboo and that’s what leads to abandonment of babies in case of unplanned pregnancies. This needs to change.

No matter how advance, the society is still very conservative in its thoughts. I believe everyone has a right to their own choices and should not be judged for their preferences.

I LOVE this post!!! This is such an important topic to talk about. People are grilled for their choices and decisions. No one has a right to pinpoint others and be moral police for people. Even if a baby is conceived before marriage, or born out of wedlock, people have no business in commenting.

It is a sad reality of our society. Not sure how long this stigma would be around but hats off to you to raise such a “bold” topic as per societal standards.

There is more to it that just conceiving before marriage. However progressive we may be. You did marry your baby’s father but those who give birth and the father is not around, the kids are bullied no end. Please watch Tribhanga that released recently. As parents, you may have the tenacity to tolerate the jibes but kids are vulnerable and can be scarred for life.
