EK CHAADAR MAILI SI

Ek Chadar Maili Si is a story of a tradition in Punjab, as part of which, the younger brother weds his elder brother’s widow upon the latter’s death. This tradition is called ‘ chadar daalna ‘. Compelled by custom and physical force, the male protagonist of Ek Chadar Maili Si weds his sister-in-law. She gives him turmeric-milk on their wedding-night and spends all night caressing his wounds.
