After the death of her son-in-law, Bhaktin and her daughter lived and worked together. But her brothers-in-law were greedy and they wanted Bhaktin’s property for themselves. They wanted the widowed daughter of Bhaktin to marry one of their relatives. However, against the wishes of the mother and her daughter, they were accepted as husband and wife. The new son-in-law had no job and spent his time in useless activities. Their debt increased and when Bhaktin couldn’t pay the tax, she was made to stand under the scorching heat of the sun. She felt humiliated, left the village, and moved to the city.
