Lovely gave information about the demand of bullet being made by her husband to her parents many times. But due to poverty, the maternal in-laws could not fulfill the demand of bullet of the in-laws. Due to non-availability of bullets, Lovely was also assaulted several times, due to which several compromises were made socially.
