and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

Widows of India
by Jyotsna KamatFirst Online: May 15, 2002Page Last Updated: September 24,2005
A glaring gender discrimination among Hindus exists in India over the centuries. Whereas a widower can remarry as many times as he likes, a widow cannot remarry irrespective of her age.
Since child-marriages were common, position of child-widows was pitiable, since their very existence or seeing their face early in the morning was considered a bad omen.
The unfortunate women who could not commit or were prevented from Sati were doomed to lead the most austere life. Among the brahmins and some higher castes, their heads were shaven, they were made to wear red or white sari without ornaments and eat single meal.
Their presence at family public functions were totally forbidden. They slogged in joint families, died unwept and unsung.
Many social reformers in different states tried to better the lot of such women by educating them and making self-reliant. Child marriage was forbidden by acts in early 20th century.

The Miseries of a Widow
Woman with shaven head and red saree
Hindu code tried to bring in parity with men regarding ownership and property. With spread of education and especially during freedom struggle there was national awareness regarding the condition of women.
Many widows took active part in constructive programs laid down by Gandhi and were forefront leaders.
After independence in 1947, there is no more dress taboo for widows anymore. In cities, at least among middle class, no child-widows are seen.
However, widow remarriages are not common. Widowhood is considered a curse still and family support is missing at times in the tower strata. But the humiliation of facing a barber for tonsuring the head belongs to history.
It goes to the credit of widowed women that they face life bravely and try to be cheerful believing in fate or the karma theory. They try to lead a pious and austere life presently to earn auspicious existence in next birth.
