TRIGGER WARNING (1/2)''In 2008,at the age of 17,I was married to a boy in Allahabad. On the first day of my marriage,my husband and his family demanded for cash in dowry,my father had already done everything as per his capacity but their greed was not satisfied. Being a smart independent yet traditional Mumbai girl,I told them that they will not get anything more and I will file a case against them if they demand dowry to which they got scared and did not demand again but their harassment had started.They used to torture me mentally. Everytime I used to call my father and request him to get me out of this hell. Finally my father understood my situation and asked me to come back to Mumbai and start a new life. My husband decided to come with me and somehow I managed to explain him that we should start afresh in Mumbai thinking that maybe his mindset will change if he stays away from his greedy family. I told him we both will work and start a living and he agreed to do so. After sometime he realised I was doing well in life so he decided to quit his job and lead a relaxed life which became another reason of our fights. I knew I was living in hell but I somehow kept ignoring it for the sake of my 2 daughters. After I lost my father in 2014,situation got worse. I had to face domestic violence everyday and everytime after fighting with me,he used to vanish for few months leaving all the responsibilities on me..I was really fed up and I decided to take divorce so both the families sat together to discuss the matter and somehow due to the family pressure,I had to give him another chance but he continued to do the same. Infact now he even started threatening me that he will kill me or attack me with acid to which I complaint to my mother and instead of protecting me she told me that he is just threatening you and will not do anything and you have to handle your family life yourself. When I returned back from my mother's house,he asked me to cook food for him and I refused,he went to the hotel and got food for both of us and made me eat with him and apologised for his behaviour. I had not even dreamt about what was about to happen to me." #acidattacksurvivor #acidattack (at Mumbai, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBa3sDonaTm/?igshid=1jy5phcc08b7y
