Did they got married before tiger started eating
Wajih Mangat
In chapter one, tiger, a 16 year old boy, has an arranged marriage to marry Urmilla. for his wedding, he got a cow, a mud hut in Barataria and $200. First they had little communication with each other and the ice breaker between them was when tiger smoked and coughed because he had never smoked before. Tiger rented land and became a farmer and thought about what being a man was. Authority came first between them, then love (you know what I mean). Tiger thinks that being a man meant that he had to: drink, smoke, beat the life out of his wife, be the man of the house/ have authority over Urmilla, work and have sexual intercourse, curse and beat his wife.
