- ’Dampati Mela‘ promotes marriage
A unique gathering of couples named “Dampati Mela” (Couples’ Fair) took place at Bishwa Sahitya Kendra in the capital yesterday evening.
The first of its kind in Dhaka, the event was organised by Dampati Society, a newly formed organisation that aims to promote the value of marriage and development of family bonding through regular study and eventual discourse.
The fair received good response, as quite a number of couples were present at the open-for-all event, exchanging their views on marriage and how to have a happy married life.
“We are happy to be here. I feel like a 25-year-old man right now,” said Saleh Ahmed, attending the fair with his wife of 41 years, Sahida Karim.
“The young generation should always remember that faith is a huge part of a successful marital relationship. It should never be compromised,” Saleh told.
Sahida said she was feeling nostalgic. “There are so many memories. We have been together for around 41 years, but it seems as though all those years went in a blink of an eye.”
Quazi Rawnaq Hossain and Ulka Hossain, married for 28 years, were seen enjoying the evening with some friends at the fair.
“Love should be sustained and nurtured all throughout a marriage; it should never be lost. There may be ups and downs in a marriage, but love must not be forgotten in times of trouble,” Rawnaq said.
Ulka said theirs was a happy family. “We have two children: one is 26 years old, and the other is 21. We are happy.”
Abdullah Abu Sayeed, founding chairperson of Bishwa Sahitya Kendra, inaugurated the event at 7pm. While giving the inauguration speech, he reminisced his married life, while his wife Rawshan Ara stood by
his side.
“Good things and bad things will happen in every family, but people have to cope with that and keep the love for each other alive,” he said.
The event also gave special recognition to couples who have been married for at least 50 years. Honourees included Hayat Mahmud and Firoza Begum, and Syed Hasan Imam and Laila Hasan, among others.
