Dispense With Mangal Sutra. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar
Dispense With Mangal Sutra.
A Hindu woman had been barred
From remarriage on widowhood.
She was stripped of the Mangal Sutra
Her husband tied in her marriage.
She'd remain a widow till death
With no occasion to wear it.
A widow can now remarry
And has to be subjected anew
To the tying of a Mangal Sutra.
Doesn't it seem a mockery?
Why not, if the custom of it
Is dispensed with altogether?
