Red

She is red. Vermillion-sindoor. She is capitulated for the sake of kanyadaan and killed for no dowry.

She is red. Crimson-blood. She silently consents to be circumcised.

She is red. Scarlet-love. She is killed for the honour of her family.

Red.

Every month of purification. Red.

Nine months of pain. Red.

She is red.
