Goerge married Jane. Her father wants him to take her to the city of Mikhal. But George has no house in that town. And without bringing her to Mikhal Marriage conract will not be considered legally functional. George has no house in this town and is looking for a place to rent in the meantime. Someone in the town wants to se how George will manage the situation without his cooperation. And the two have a dispute over Jane between them. Can anybody make the ends meet?

I was on a tracing mission for two years
Jane dramatically dissappeared from home
I checked her from any possible hideout
But no way I could find my missing love
After a long search I received a letter
It was from an organizing committee
It invited me to attend Jane's wedding
The groom is old George, a bitter rival
I'm sure this was not Jane's decision
An invisible evil force overpowered her
I turned down the invitation because
I didn't want to see George lifting her hand
I didn't want to see him dancing with her
This unimpressive old man hasn't saved much
He hasn't got a house of his own
I am the richest and most famous in this town
If George asks me an appartment to rent
Do you think I should I give him?
What for?

Thanks for sharing this Abdi Noor it points out the traditional ways of nations that refuse to overcome their ignorance in a modern world.
That kind of treatment of women was never right and should be changed.
Until then individuals are face with the dilemma you now write of. I agree with Sherry.

I would say, Yes, you should. If you really care about her, then you should have her close where you can keep an eye on her and make sure she is safe. The best way to handle the situation is to led go of the grudge and hold fast to your love and caring for Jane. Excellent thought provoking write, Abdi-Noor. I hear weeps for the women who are not given the choice to choose their own fate.
Take care,
Sherry

It is sad that one holds grudges against another upto the point of allowing yet another person to suffer.

If I were you I will forget about who George is. I will rent it to George and Jane. Jane deserves to be treated well. We help strangers in the street, why not friends we know.

Good thought-provoking piece.

It is sad when a culture allows their women to be treated in this manner. Nice write.
