d) Why did Bholi rejected the marriage ?
Answers
At first, Bholi had agreed to marry an old man because of her father's honour, thereby placing her family's interest over her own. However, she later refused to marry him because she saw how mean, greedy and contemptible he was. By demanding a hefty dowry, he took advantage of her bad looks and the desperateness of her father to get her married. This is why she rejected the marriage and silenced everybody else who called her shameless. This tells us that Bholi had grown in confidence and could very well speak for herself.
Answer:
Bholi loved her parents very much. So, for the sake of their respect and happiness, she had accepted to marry Bishamber. When Bishamber demanded rupees five thousand as dowry and insulted her father, she refused to marry him to save Ramlal's self respect.
