STOP THE REMOVAL OF EMOTIONS FROM THE FACE OF EARTH !!!

ITS LONG BUT PLEASE READ IT, TRUST ME ITS WORTH YOUR TIME!
Well, I know I came back after a long time but today the reason is not because I feel lonely and I feel left out, which was the initial reason of making this blog but because now I feel unsafe and uneasy living in the society that exists around us today.
Coming to the point, yesterday I was listening to this Punjabi/Hindi radio station. Every week these people have a big debate kind of thing where they come with new topics to talk about. This week’s topic was: “Signing a Contract Before Getting Married.” And as it is there were two sides arguing for and against the topic and unlike what my initial reaction was to the question (which was “no, because it makes marriage a contract rather than a bond) my views were drastically influenced. I guess it’s a problem mainly for Indians living outside Canada, because their parents force them on getting married to someone from India as they feel that person from India will understand the culture and language better and will respect them more as opposed to an Indian born and brought up here. But that is turning out to be soo wrong.
The main reason for my sudden transformation was this phone call that they received on air from a Indo-Canadian girl who said that she is just got back from court and was listening to this radio station. She said that she just got married to this Indian boy and when she was in India, he made him sign two blank pieces of papers. Now, you might call this stupidity that she signed blank pieces of paper or you can this immense trust and faith on someone you love (which obviously every partner expects from the other). Also, when he was getting those papers signed he told her he wants to make a “will” sorta thing through which he will make sure that if something happens to her she will be given money and would be secure and stuff…but it turns out when he finally managed to come to Canada he tried killing her with a knife and wanted to use one of those papers as her suicide note. Since, this scheme of his failed he used the other piece of paper as a contract saying that after divorce he will be given 50% of her property, money everything…she was devastated by the experience and was very strongly in support of a contract before marriage stating that if something happens then there will be no division of property, who will take the kids etc. etc.. but then if you think about it, doesn’t it sound like a deal when you lay down all the clauses before you start doing the business actually…this is soo funny, and I myself can’t make up my mind if this is the right thing to do…but as far as I have thought about this…I would rather never get married ever than be in sucha position as her or many many other Indo-Canadian/American girls out there…
