| Notes | This poem references gender discrimination - the diminished choices of young women from economically underprivileged backgrounds. The youth and beauty of the young Indian bride is contrasted with that of her husband. The context is not specified, but he is clearly a Westerner 'he is from here' who found his bride on the internet. It is unclear whether this was an instance of human-trafficking or entered into willingly. |
