The Turbulent Story of Pinky : A Cautionary Tale Against Divorce (Part-II).

By Lokanath Mishra

After their mutual divorce, Pinky and her husband namely Vijay went their separate ways, unaware of the challenges that lay ahead.

Vijay, a bank officer, thought he had found love again when he married another woman. However, his new wife turned out to be a thief. One night, she looted his jewelry and cash and disappeared. To avoid societal criticism, Vijay didn’t report the incident to the police.

Years later, Vijay married a poor girl, hoping to find happiness again. However, his second wife appeared, demanding fifty lakh rupees or else she would inform the police about his third marriage without divorcing her. Vijay was forced to pay thirty lakh rupees by selling his house and made an agreement with his second wife, without acknowledging their marriage.

Vijay’s life had become a series of unfortunate events, all stemming from his divorce with Pinky. If he had somehow adjusted with Pinky, his life might have taken a different turn.

Pinky, on the other hand, was living with her brothers, but her life was far from happy. She at the age of 31 years had entered into an extramarital relationship with the owner of the coaching center, a 60-year-old married man with two married daughters.

One day, while engaged in a romantic encounter at the coaching center, Pinky and her lover were caught by the police and arrested. They spent 18 days in jail and are now out on bail, awaiting the final decision on their case.

A Message to Young Couples

The story of Pinky and Vijay serves as a cautionary tale against divorce. Their lives, once filled with promise and happiness, were turned upside down due to their inability to work through their differences.

This story is a reminder to young couples that divorce is not a solution to marital problems. It’s a call to prioritize communication, compromise, and forgiveness in building strong, resilient marriages.
The consequences of divorce can be far-reaching and devastating, affecting not only the couple but also their loved ones. Pinky and Vijay’s story is a testament to the importance of perseverance and commitment in marriage.

As a society, we must encourage young couples to work through their differences and prioritize their relationships. We must also provide support and guidance to couples facing marital challenges, rather than stigmatizing divorce and rejecting those who have gone through it.

Ultimately, the story of Pinky and Vijay serves as a reminder that marriage is a commitment that requires effort, patience, and understanding. It’s a call to young couples to cherish and nurture their relationships, rather than opting for divorce as a quick fix.
