The Asian folk song describes the pain of having husband’s another wife.

The father asks his daughter about reasons for her pain in this Asian traditional song.

The father asks about his married daughter for not putting on jewels those he gifted to her at marriage.

The daughter states that her husband’s another wife (rival wife) put on all the jewels as necklace, ear ring, ring, big bangles, and foot ring etc.

The daughter blames everything on her luck that her husband has another wife too.
