I went to Kushtia alone to my daughter house for treatment and stayed here for six months. When I come back to our son’s at Jhalokathi after recovery, they refuse to accept me, since my husband is dependent on the son’s, he can't play any role for me. I have registered a complaint at the District Legal Aid Office. Till now there has been one hearing organized so far. I hope that I will get justice and my rights back.
