They’re not lovers at all
A love affair is a romantic relationship between two people who love each other. Men or women used to sacrifice their dearest or most expensive thing for the cause of love. In many cases marriage is not the ultimate ending of the love affairs. There are many reasons – social, religious, financial and others. If anyone fails to marry his fiancé that doesn’t mean that he will have to kill her or her father and mother.
But what we are seeing nowadays? The self-declared lovers are killing or injuring either their fiancés or the newly married husbands. Barguna’s Rifat murder case is the best example for it. Former student leader at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology Badrul Alam hacked Khadiza with a sharp weapon outside Sylhet MC College on Oct 3 in 2016 when the girl refused him. There are several thousand acid victims in Bangladesh; of which 99% were attacked for refusing love proposal. Several ill-fated girls were raped, gang-raped or killed-after-rape by the thugs apparently for the same reason.
How a lover becomes cruel if he fails to marry his fiancé? Love is divine. A relation of love could bring positive change in a man. The persons who killed their lovers or their parents or husbands weren’t good human beings.
