Abstract

SSWs are the vulnerable group of our country. They always make a hidden life in their family and society. Though they became vulnerable because of their families, they still sacrifice their lives for the family. They always want to live with their family with joy and happiness. But in most of the cases lack of family supports from their parental family after marriage break makes them more vulnerable. For their family they are sometimes bound to engage in this type of work. But they have family bonding and family liabilities. If their families support them in their vulnerable situation, they could lead a normal life. They do not know whether their family especially their beloved children will accept them or not when the truth will be disclosed. They may have to face a bitter experience from their family.
