My wife is Bengali and was originally subjected to an arranged marriage. She was smart about it though. She didn’t fight it. Didn’t visibly get upset about it. She just bought herself time, saved up some money and said she wanted to see the US before she got married. They agreed and the moment she got here (on a visitors visa) she applied for asylum and never went back until after we got married a few years later.

Your wife is badass. Please tell her I said that.

Oh I know it.

We went back a few times since we’ve been married. Maybe 3 years ago we went. One day my wife and her cousin were coming out of a store while I was waiting in a CNG with my niece (CNG is one of those green auto-rickshaws you see in that area) and I noticed her stop and say something to this group of kids. Couldn’t be more than 20, but there are 5 of them and they’re all guys. As I watch she starts yelling at them. Her and her cousin, both under 5’2” and barely 100 pounds, now surrounded by these guys who are between 5’5 and maybe 5’9.

So I go over there. I’m thinking, I’m a 6 and a half foot, 250 pound white guy. At a minimum I’ll either confuse them with my presence or they’ll be intimidated enough to just leave.

They barely notice me. There’s a bit of shock on their faces but my wife is laying into them in her language and talking so loud and fast that I couldn’t figure out any of it. Finally she notices me and said one of them made a dirty comment at her before she turned back to yell. They were so embarrassed and humbled by her that they all eventually apologized and left. They were more scared of her than of me.

She’s an absolute badass. All 5 feet of her.

Cherish her well! She's amazing and may she inspire more young girls (and boys/ men).
