A woman shared her feelings in a case study,
after her husband marries with second wife;
"I was shocked when husband came with other
woman. I was quiet for a long time and could not
eat and sleep. I thought if husband came and
spoke with me nicely then I will stay with them
together but my husband started to ignore me
after his second marriage and I lived separately
with my children. I cried lot and also thought of
dying but looking at the future of the children, I
tried to convince my self".

In a case study, one of the women from
Sarlahi district explained her situation after
her daughter was taken to India for work;
"It has been a few years that my daughter was
taken to India for work. When I received her
photo, I saw that my daughter's hair was cut and
when I saw some strains in her wrist, I
suspected that she might have been taken to
work in bad places. After some times, my
daughter phoned me. When I heard my
daughter's voice I found her talking very
impatiently. Then, I felt she was searching for
some help. In the meantime the phone got cut
off. Then, my mind became unstable and could
not work. I was constantly having these things in
my mind. I was constantly hearing her voice in
my ear. I could not talk with anyone on the way
from market to home. Because of
this I am disturbed".
