Tia was married in an affluent and socially respectable
family. After two years of marriage, she gave birth to a beautiful daughter.

that came with the child too was upset, (her face conveyed) and they didn’t
demand any ransom to hand over the child as they do at the birth of a son.
Anyhow, the situation was managed by sis-in-law of Tia and relatives present
congratulated each other on the arrival of a daughter or Lakshmi.
