Nadia, Forced Marriage

Interviewer: "Thank you for being here, Nadia. Let’s start with something simple. Can you tell us a little about yourself?"

Nadia: She smiles—a perfect, polished smile. The kind meant for photographs and social gatherings. Her posture is impeccable, her voice smooth and pleasant. "Of course. I was raised in a well-established family, where I was taught the value of grace, intellect, and responsibility. Now, I am a wife, and I dedicate myself to fulfilling that role as best I can."

Interviewer: "Your marriage was arranged, correct?"

Nadia: She lets out a soft, almost amused chuckle, tilting her head slightly as if the thought is nothing more than an anecdote. "That’s a rather dramatic way of putting it. My husband and I were introduced through our families, and a mutually beneficial agreement was reached. It’s quite common in high society."

Interviewer: "But it wasn’t a love match."

Nadia: She blinks, just once. Her smile remains, but something behind her eyes tightens. "Love... Love is a delicate thing. It requires time, effort, understanding. I have every reason to believe that, with time, my husband and I will cultivate a strong and respectful bond."

Interviewer: "So, you don’t love him now?"

Nadia: She does not hesitate. "I care for my husband’s well-being. I respect him." A brief pause. Her fingers clasp together lightly, knuckles just barely pressing against each other. "That is what matters."

Interviewer: That wasn’t quite the question.

Nadia: A breath—controlled, shallow. Then, the same flawless smile returns. "Affection is not always immediate. But I am committed to this marriage, as any devoted wife should be."

Interviewer: "Because you want to be? Or because you have to be?"

Nadia: She laughs again, but this time, it is quieter. A fraction less effortless. "Does it make a difference?"

Interviewer: "I think it does."

Nadia: She exhales softly, as if humoring a conversation she would rather avoid. "My family’s well-being was at stake. This arrangement ensured their security. What kind of daughter would I be if I had refused?"

Interviewer: "And what kind of wife are you now?"

Nadia: A beat of silence. The question lingers between them. Then, she straightens slightly, her tone light, rehearsed. "I am a dutiful one. I maintain my household, attend social functions, support my husband when needed. I play my part. And I do it well."

Interviewer: "But behind closed doors, when no one is watching—who are you then?"

Nadia: For a moment, there is something unreadable in her gaze. A flicker of something deeper, something colder. But then, she exhales, and the practiced warmth returns. "I am the same. A wife. A partner."

Interviewer: "Is that how your husband would describe you?"

Nadia: A pause. Her fingers tighten slightly against the fabric of her dress, just for a second. "He understands the nature of our arrangement. He receives the wife he was promised in public, and in private, he is granted the same consideration."

Interviewer: So, you are distant?

Nadia: A soft chuckle—empty, detached. "Is it not natural? There are many forms of companionship. Some burn hot like a flame, others remain steady like a candle in the dark. And some... simply exist."

Interviewer: "And now, his family is pressuring you to have a child. How do you feel about that?"

Nadia: "It is a reasonable expectation. A child would solidify the union between our families. It is natural, inevitable." She exhales, a little too slowly. "I understand my duty."

Interviewer: "But do you want to be a mother?"

Nadia: She opens her mouth, then closes it. Her tongue flicks against the roof of her mouth, as if searching for the right words. Finally, she speaks—measured, careful. "I... have not had the luxury of considering that question."

Interviewer: "It seems like you don’t have the luxury of considering a lot of things."

Nadia: "Perhaps. But life does not wait for indulgences."

Interviewer: "And yet, you still hope for something more, don’t you?"

Nadia: "Hope is a dangerous thing. It makes people reckless."

Interviewer: "But you haven’t let go of it, have you?"

Nadia: She is silent. Then, she stands, smoothing out the creases in her dress, as if brushing away the weight of the conversation. Her smile is back—perfect, poised, untouchable. "I have everything I need."

Interviewer: "That’s not what I asked."

Nadia: She meets the interviewer’s gaze, and for a fleeting second, something cracks—something raw, something unspoken. Then, just as quickly, the mask is back. Her voice is soft, distant. "This interview has been... enlightening." She offers a polite nod. "If you’ll excuse me, I should be getting back to my duties."
