If Marriage was a two years contract!

One lazy summer lunch break hour, the five of us,sitting in the dark staffroom shifted our talk from students and funny instances in the class to a serious issue-marriage! Tshewang quipped,"If only marriage was like a few years contract!" Without a seconds delay Namgay added,"say, it was two years contract and we could renew the marriage or just get another contract with another woman!"
My immediate answer was on a defensive side(being a woman and not to forget being happily married!,"Men will always find an alibi to get access to several women!" and I dragged the doma packet and started to talk about the changing rate of doma,just to steer the topic to a much cleaner one.

Today, sitting all alone during lunch I remembered the lunch hours I spent with my friends and as I sat thinking about those good old days, I remembered this particular incident. Seriously delving into it,if as wished by my male colleagues, if marriage was a two years old contract, what would the scenario be like?

No man would ever think of renewing their expired contract(I say this with full conviction of truth that dwells in our society) and they would not stay without another full term contract. So that means after every two years if a man marries new woman, given the size of our country and the total population,there is a possibility that the whole country might land up being one big extended family(this assumed based on the assumption that the man will have a child with every marriage,which is biologically possible). Just come to think of it!

A big smile spread on my forlorn face. Many a times I can have such silly thoughts stomping in my mind and I would enjoy it as if that was some major discovery. I threw the remains of my lunch in the trash can but the absurd thought of whole country being one big family couldn't be erased from my mind that easily. So this silly woman kept on smiling throughout the day instead of weeping for having missed another THRUE time with my family.
