Roni is a promising young girl from a close-knit family in a society where there is strict adherence to family hierarchy, gender inequality, the sanctity of marriage and punishment by stigma. She always wanted to be a lawyer, but her father wanted her to become a medical doctor. He threatened to stop her schooling if she didn’t comply. This crushed Roni as she was torn between her desire and her father’s desire. She resented her father and family, got married early to get away from home and from then on, suffered multiple ill decisions that proved to be detrimental to her life and progress and she received support from no one. Roni was ‘Stricken’!
