Baby Afreen RIP


Just some of the questions that bothered me with Bbay Afreen's death

To anybody who could answer

If baby afreen had survived,
Without lasting injuries- 
Would the mother / family been forgiving? (I think yes. We are strangely forgiving , i dare say accepting of some faults. I reason this has come to light is because the baby needed medical help. If the dad had been 'clever' enough to just be mild with his 'treatment' of his daughter, i dont think this would have ever come out)
Do you think she would have had a happy childhood? (Rhectorical)
Wont she be ridiculed by her own family for sending her dad to prison? (Yes, at one point of time, by her own family she would have)
Won't she have a tramautised adulthood? When she learns of what happened in her childhood? (Duh)

With injuries- 
Would she have been able to forgive her dad? (.........)
What sort of a adult life would that be? (She would have been used to been abused that it would have ben just another day)

To the govt - 
Would the father have had milder punishment if afreen was still alive?
Congrats on stopping female foeticide. Or atleast coming close to it. 
But you can't stop female infanticide can you? Yes, you say? Through the harshest of punishment that can instill fear in others? Yes. I agree. You can stop infanticide.
But fear is not love is it?
Can you instill love?

But can you, now I talk to the society, Can you

Make fathers love their daughters?
Can you make mothers bolder to complain?
Can you guarentee the mother has a livelihood after the possible arrest of her husband?
Can you ensure the daughter-in- law is not mistreated, called names? 

To the dad - 
Are you happy? (I'm sure you are not. You didn't want this to be  a scene now, did you?)
Did you have a happy childhood? (Don't think you can get away with saying yes)
What made you think a girl was unnecessary in this world? (You needed one yourself as a wife and a mother)
Did you know that a sperm decides the sex of the baby? If it was anybody's fault your child is a girl, then its yours.  Not your wife's fault and your child's.  Nw that you know, can you chop your private parts so you create no more of the same?

To the public?
Why do we get angry,
foul-mouth
and then forget?
Now that she has left the world, is she one of the news of yesterday?

Am I wrong in thinking she is better off dead than here?
Stay whereever you are baby afreen and watch us. Come back when we deserve gentle spirits like you.
