Character sketch of bholi's mother

Bholi’s parents were quite ordinary parents. Her father, Ramlal was the Numberdar of his village. Ramlal had seven children — three sons and four daughters; He was quite prosperous; he was quite traditional in his outlook. He sent his son to city for higher education; but he arranged for his daughters when they were quite young. He was quite much worried about Bholi because of her looks and stuttering. Ramlal had to send Bholi to school because of pressure from Tehsildar.  

Ramlal’s wife was very backward in thinking; she believed if the girls were allowed to go to schools, nobody would marry them.  

Bholi needed special care, but neither of her parents did that; they just wanted to get her married. When marriage proposal from Bishamber came who was a widower and many years older than Bholi, they accepted the proposal without consulting Bholi.
