Is Menstruation Impure???

Every day when I speak to ladies around me, I get to hear different stories. Their thoughts, their difficulty, and their challenges as well. While growing up from a girl to woman, the biggest challenge every girl faces is about periods. When girls get their first period in puberty, nobody tells her that it's just another normal biological process while growing. On the contrary, she is said to isolate herself in the room, corner her from the kitchen, restricted from praying or entering into sacred places, and many more.

How does it sound when a girl is told that 

"It is your problem that if you have periods on the chosen date for marriage." 

How does it be her fault? It occurs naturally. 

It is more painful when this statement comes from her father, who is well educated and Headmaster of school. When she requested to postpone the marriage date, she is being told to shut her mouth, and the date cannot be changed. 

Despite all this, when the wedding ceremony happened, and the newly wedded bride enters the house. When her mother-in-law gets to know that she is on her menstruation. She makes a statement saying 

"This girl is a curse to our family, and she is impure."

How does she become impure? Women give birth to a child because of menstruation occurs every month. Then how come she is impure??? If she does not get periods regularly or could be some other and suppose she is not able to deliver the child. Then also she is blamed for not child-bearing.

Learnings

1. Neither woman is impure nor the menstruation. It is our thought process that needs to be changed. 

2. Menstruation is a biological process where normal vaginal bleeding occurs as part of a woman's monthly cycle. Every month, your body prepares for pregnancy. If no pregnancy occurs, the uterus, or womb, sheds its lining. The menstrual blood is partly blood and partly tissue from inside the uterus.

 3. It is a blessing. So do not make it look like a curse to ladies.
