- The role of abolition of widowhood
In our society, at the time of the death of the husband, at the time of the funeral, the kumkum on the forehead of the wife is wiped, the mangalsutra on the neck is broken, the bracelets on the hands are broken. This is a situation where a woman cannot participate in any kind of religious or social event as a widow. By law, everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person. Due to this practice, this right is being attacked. That is, the law is being violated.
However, in our village and country, widows should be able to live with dignity, for which the practice of widowhood is coming to an end. In this context, public awareness should be created in the village. A resolution was passed that this meeting is approving it. Muktabai Sanjay Pujari presented the resolution in a meeting chaired by Hergoad Gram Panchayat’s Sarpanch Panch Surgonda Patil. So, Sujata Keshav Gurav has given approval.
