Right to Life, for the Wife
Mood:  sad
Topic: legaleagle
A woman has legal recourse if she is abused by her husband or her inlaws.
But a woman doesnt have the right to protest against rape by her husband
And doesnt have the right to insist on condomns in this age of HIV+
This is not an Indian Women's Issue, but an Indian Issue.

The right to life, for the wife

Dont I have the right to life?
I ask you, says the wife

Unprotected sex is high risk,
Unprotected oral sex is medium risk,
Is my life, asks the wife,
To you all, worth this risk?

Even animals have people protesting against their slaughter
Why does no one think of me as their daughter.
Lets talk about right to safe sex
This issue is not just for chromosome xx

I have to go through this Everyday
Do something for me atleat Today
December 1st, World AIDS Day.
