Girl child - Boon or Bane
#WritcoStoryPrompt33
"It's a girl! "
The doctor gushed, placing the wailing infant on the woman's chest.
She heaved trying to catch her breath in the aftermath of her gruelling labour. Tears of pain mingled briefly with tears of joy before dissolving into tears of sadness.
She had once again given birth to a girl! Her third daughter. What would her husband and in-laws do to her now?...
Her husband and Inlaws didn't want any more girl children.
They considered a girl child as a burden.
They felt that a girl should only cook and take care of the house.
They felt that a girl shouldn't have much of freedom.
