Until the lion tells his tale, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.
Virgo Foundation presents
Wedlock of the Gods, a tragic drama that has its roots in the ritual of death and mourning. A young girl is given away in marriage to a man whom she neither knows nor loves. Her parents are in desperate need of the dowry money to cure her sick brother. When the new husband dies unexpectedly events take on a new twist.
Following in the custom of leviration the young girl is expected to mourn for three months and then marry her dead husband's brother. The young girl, exasperated, rebels in the face of age old custom and tradition. What would be the consequences of such a defiant act of rebellion?
