Honorable ladies and gentlemen, assembled here, Divorce becomes a cardinal sin only when it touches your own unemployed, vagrant, drug-addicted darling son. Divorce is a mortal sin when it happens to your eldest boy, the one afflicted with mental illness. Divorce becomes sin upon sin when that divorced woman is your one close friend, when your daughter is getting married, and at that very moment her divorced cousin comes to stand beside her, and you must introduce her to your daughter's in-laws with this very truth. Divorce becomes a cardinal sin when your son or friend is compelled by the heart's pull to wander the parks in secret with some divorced woman! Divorce is indeed a mortal sin when you can roam everywhere with all your friends, except for that one divorced friend of yours. Divorce becomes the greatest sin when the question arises of a divorced woman being proposed as a bride for your neighborhood's socially well-established boy! Divorce is truly, truly a cardinal sin when an unmarried man wants to make a divorced woman a member of his family. What else but a cardinal sin is divorce, when during your darkest days a divorced woman gives you every kind of mental support, helping you move forward even as she navigates the most difficult moments of her own life! When that very woman becomes your closest companion, becomes your only world, yet that small world suffers a premature death one day, and something in your own self-respect prevents you from introducing her to society as your life partner! Then you are completely healthy, unburdened and untroubled, therefore you no longer need that woman. Divorce is such a great sin when a divorced woman your daughter's age roams around dressed as beautifully as your daughter, when there's no problem with your daughter walking around without a head covering, yet at that very moment a divorced woman walks around without cloth on her head! What greater sin exists than divorce, when your darling daughter comes home at nine in the evening from a friend's birthday party, while a divorced woman returns home at exactly the same moment after a full day picnic with her college students and teachers. Divorce is certainly creating so many problems for you, when your daughter roams in the darkness with her boyfriend until eight in the evening, while at that very moment some divorced woman returns home after taking her sick mother to the doctor. Divorce-sin is a true cardinal sin when all your non-relatives are invited to your younger son's or daughter's birthday celebration, yet somehow you can't quite find the courage within to invite your brother's divorced daughter! What other sin exists like this, when your beloved daughter walks around with male friends at her university, while at that exact moment some divorced woman merely exchanges pleasantries with her male friend after meeting him on the street after a long time. Such vile sin seems to waste away your very lifespan, when your unmarried son brings home a divorced woman he loves, making her the honored daughter-in-law of the house. Or if your very own son loves that woman with his whole heart, then why should you tolerate seeing it before your eyes, tell me? A divorced woman, whatever else she may be, surely isn't worthy of being anyone's wife or receiving anyone's love! Oh, all right brother, it's fine! Don't they say, whoever has the head gets the headache! You don't have a head, so why would you get the headache? Let whoever wants to die wherever they please! Whoever has the wound applies the balm! At no stage of life will you ever get such wounds! Distinguished audience, Know this: divorce will cease to be a cardinal sin in your eyes only on the day your own daughter or your very own sister becomes its victim! To help her rebuild her life anew, hoping to see her live a little better... The day you yourself get her that divorce and bring her back to your own home, that day you'll think, to hell with this society! Let my daughter just come back home, if nothing else, let her at least live! Until then, you might as well keep supplying the tamarind paste to heal the wounds of other people's daughters! ...In today's world, who shows even this much kindness to whom, tell me!
Divorce—sin most grave!
