So you believe that keeping this childless woman from someone else’s child is a good moral practice?

Really?

It is very callous to even think that someone who does not have the ability to have a child (which could not even be her fault) to be jealous and depressed enough that she ‘needs to be protected’ from these feelings.

Do you know how miserable childless women feel by these kind of actions by people around them?

All other points were to show, the importance of children and having a male child is considered so important that it has led to many irrational acts and Pakistanis certainly have adapted these false ideas..over a long period of time living together with Hindus.

I did not mean they should be banned. I said its probably a way to prevent a childless woman from unnecessary mental torture. Please dont read in between the lines.

Let me give you my own example…I have 2 healthy kids by god’s grace, but last yr I conceived triplets by chance. It was definitely not planned. But to my bad fate, I lost my pregnancy after 21 weeks. That was painful and it took me more than 4 months to just come to terms that I am not to be blamed for the loss. It was just god’s wish. During these 4 months, I just dreaded any sort of invitations from anyone. I did not want to be pitied nor advised by anyone. I just wanted to be spared from everything and let things come to normal by itself.

Now, this can be thought of in 2 ways - 1) I did not want to be troubled. 2) I wanted other mothers-to-be to be spared from the fear of losing a pregnancy especially after crossing 50% of the gestation.

People considering barren women as inauspicious is superstitious. There is no religious backing to it. But haven’t we all been taught to avoid bringing unnecessary distress to others?
