“I would be alive but dead from inside if I were to abandon my child.” This is the cry of an unwed mother who, despite of all odds, cares for her child born out of adultery.
Let me take you to a brief journey of this courageous woman living in Morocco. This might be the story of many other females, across the globe, whose lives are destined the day they are out of their mother’s womb.
A girl child was born to a poor family. Completing 7 years of stay on this earth, she was ‘submitted’ as a domestic servant to a ‘well-to-do family’ for the fulfillment of her family’s financial needs. At a playful age, when the world is nothing beyond dolls and candies, this little soul knew what is mopping and sweeping. She worked there. Seasons after seasons, the years went by and there came a day when she was face to face with what was destined to happen to her, someday or the other. She soon discovered herself being pushed into the pit of fornication. Submission is what they are taught and is expected out of them to continue the financial support of their family. And so she did, as she had known many females in her community doing the same thing. Need of money wins over self esteem. She conceived and bore a child, placing herself in the category of unwed mothers, the ultimate cultural taboo. So strange! It’s considered a taboo by the same society which produces them. Things are open; yet covered. This threat of being unacceptable in the society causes many to leave their newborns in hospitals and run away or leave them on streets or even throws them in garbage bins. This lady, who no longer remained a girl, was determined with courage to keep her child and say “it’s mine”. She knew that when as a child she was being pushed into something which would ruin her life; the decision was not in her hands. But here, now when she holds a life in her hands, she decides to bring no injustice to it. Children are a reward from the Lord (Ps. 127:3), a realization taken as a responsibility.
There are many women throughout the world who live under such awful conditions of exploitation. But the point is that how can we contribute in making such lives better? How could our knowing about the condition make a difference over our being ignorant? When we hear about such afflicted people, our ‘intellectual minds’ bend towards knowing the ‘what, when and how’ of the situation. Well, a fair thing to do, maybe till some extent. But it’s more important to realize that do such narrations make us willing to contribute positively towards the betterment of the situation? How do we react? Sigh and leave the place or become astute or we take time to ponder and realize what actually the women must have gone through and determine to pray for the tangled soul. The Word says, pray for the oppressed and the needy.
