Anjali Swain, a newly married woman from Mayfair Nagar Ward 16, shared her experience about dealing with menstruation after getting married at the age of 18. At her mother's house, she was instructed to avoid using household items and touching anyone for three days due to local rituals. However, when she got her period for the first time at her in-laws' house, she was initially scared to inform her mother-in-law. To her relief, her mother-in-law did not believe in such stigmas. Instead, she allowed Anjali to continue her usual activities, took care of her dietary needs, and even brought sanitary pads from the store, advising her to rest. This supportive environment made a significant positive impact on Anjali's perception of menstruation.
