Rameshbhai Dervaliya: Drawing Strength from Marriage
Twenty seven-year-old Rameshbhai from Rajkot, Gujarat, was married some time ago. Last year, his wife was diagnosed with a severe heart problem. His parents were keen he remarry. His wife too urged him to do so. Around this time, he heard of the campaign. After becoming part of it, he refused to heed to his parent’s advice. He attended to his wife with compassion and looked after her till she passed away. “I committed to her when I married her. How can illness justify my breaking that commitment?” he asks.” He continues to be an active Change Maker and speaks to people about the need to be mindful of women’s dignity and rights.
