In the interest of finding happiness, I just ended up into
catastrophes. Born in the family of 3 children, two girls and a boy brought up
in a simple and humble background. Many people on the village counted on us in
almost every aspect of life.
When I reached the age of 18, a certain guy picked interest
in me, we went in courtship and I finally decided to spend the rest of my life
with him. Time came when I had to let my mum know about this issue.
She was not happy because she had prepared a very rich man
for me and to my surprise; the man had already paid the bride price without my
concern. It was a hard time for me to decide whether to obey the will of my
parents or else I take my own decision.
Trying to meditate about the love of my mother towards me, I
un willingly went into marriage with the person my parents chose because of
wealth. When I was about to give birth to my first child, I realized that I was
HIV positive. My husband died and left me with 2 kids both having the disease.
A pain that I will never forget until I die. “Let the parents know that their
daughters are not for sell and should be given chance to decide on their own
because if it was not a forced marriage by my parents, I wouldn’t have been in
this calamity”.
