It was on earlier years, when widows are considered as ‘inauspicious’ according to Hindu tradition, they were made to look ugly by wearing white saree. She is not allowed to adorn red bindi, not allowed to keep jasmine flowers in her hair and some had their head tonsured. They were excluded in all celebrations and ceremonies. In such a painful situation, who will like to live as a widow??

So, the better option is SUMANGALI.

Thanks god, nowadays they have broken such traditions.
