Synopsis:
A story based on a custom called "Natha Pratha", which states that for any reason if a woman wants to leave her husband, her father or any other person who supports her has to pay compensation to her husband. The amount of compensation is decided by a people who hold judicial post (Panchayat1). If the said amount cannot be paid for whatever reasons, the woman is punished by villagers for leaving her husband. And the punishment can be as degrading as stripping and parading her naked in front of the whole village. But on the contrary, if a husband wants to leave a woman he need not give any reason or explanation for doing so. He has a free will for the same.
