By way of introduction, let us all understand that this write-up is not of universal application. The focus is on women and not men because the reverse is even not remotely possible. This little piece is to throw light on the childless widow. It further focuses on a woman that most of us are likely to admire – the one who is unable to have children of her own, but welcomes or accepts, the children her husband has outside the marriage. She decides to remain married, whether she has biological children or not.
