The fight over consent: Will Fatima consent to a second wife due to repeated pressure?

Описание: Fathima began her day with hard work, stitching and sewing at the tailor’s shop, as she always did. She poured her heart into every piece, making sure that each one was perfect. After a long day of labor, she returned home, hoping for some peace.
However, as she approached the door, she noticed her grandmother standing with a stern face, her eyes sharp with disapproval. The door was locked. "Why did you lock the door?" her grandmother asked sharply. Fathima hesitated, sensing the tension that had been brewing.
"You need to understand, dear," her grandmother continued. "I’ve been to Hamza’s second wife’s house. They are a respectable and kind family, and I believe you should accept this marriage. This is what’s best for you."
Fathima stood there, her heart racing. She could feel the weight of the pressure mounting on her shoulders. The idea of a second marriage was not something she had chosen for herself, nor something she wanted. She had her own dreams and her own voice.
"I won't accept it," Fathima said firmly, her voice unwavering. "I don’t want this. I won’t let anyone decide for me. I’ll make my own choices, even if it’s difficult."
Her grandmother stared at her, a mix of shock and anger in her eyes. But Fathima didn't flinch. She had made her decision. No matter what society or family expected, she would stand her ground.
