Women who have found themselves in charge of a family after the sudden deaths of family members find rules, regulations and laws making mockery of their situation.

New Delhi: “He died months ago but the government reminds us of our loss everyday,” says Dipanwita Das, who lost her husband on April 25, 2021, at the height of the second wave of COVID-19.

Das admitted her husband to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital as his vitals dipped and temperature rose. Her husband, Partho, passed away soon after, beginning an ordeal for the widow that she had entirely not foreseen.

First, the hospital misspelled her husband’s name on official document, delaying the procurement of a death certificate. To rectify this mistake, hospital authorities asked Dipanwita to file an application. They also asked her to update the ‘registered contact’ with her own number as the hospital had entered the number of a hospital attendant in that space.

This process took weeks. Amidst rising COVID-19 numbers, Dipanwita had to visit the hospital three to four times after her husband’s death, just to complete formalities so that she could get a death certificate.
