The wife calls the adult husband এতিম because both parents have died and says this is a reason she does not leave. The surrounding account also says he has siblings but does not go to them, and describes violence, sleep disruption and the limits of her endurance.
Research meaning — Bengali
স্বামীর মা-বাবা মারা যাওয়ার কারণে তাকে এতিম ধরে ছেড়ে না যাওয়ার কথা স্ত্রী বলেন, একই সঙ্গে সহ্যের সীমা ও অত্যাচারের বর্ণনা দেন।
What this research adds
The contribution is the role of a relational designation in sustaining a felt care obligation amid harm. Adult use is not claimed as a newly invented dictionary sense.
ذہنی صحت سے تعلق
A social and kinship designation, not a diagnosis. Preserve both the care rationale and the account of abuse; do not endorse enduring violence.
Safe messaging for media
- Use the expression in its stated context; do not present it as a diagnosis or universal translation.
- Avoid describing a person by a stigmatizing term unless the person self-identifies that way and the wording is necessary.
- For suicide-related coverage, avoid method detail, sensational headlines, and single-cause explanations; include help-seeking information.
- Link to this entry’s evidence limits and distinguish contributor wording from analyst interpretation.

استعمال کا تناظر
The account follows reported advice from other people that she should leave. These are her reported reasons and others’ reported comments, not normative recommendations.
Learning from the accounts
Reported effects
The designation helps explain continued presence and toleration in her account. It does not erase the described suffering or establish that remaining is safe or freely chosen.
Attributed origins
Parental death is the explicit basis for the designation; the interview does not state that he lacks every living relative.
Variation and visualization
Having siblings and being called এতিম coexist. The word cannot be equated here with total absence of kin or with childhood status alone.
کیا غیر یقینی ہے

Across languages
Hindi: यतीम — The Hindi entry explicitly has a parentless/orphan meaning. Does not prove identical adult care obligations, social standing or absence of all relatives. [REC-CBLEX05] English: orphan — Matches the parent-loss sense. Used alone, it can obscure the broader support/protection sense and the adult local use. [REC-CBLEX04]
মানুশজন আমারে কয়, এতো ধৈর্য ক্যামনে আপনেরক্যামনে সহ্য কইরা থাকেন? এই বাল ফালাই দিয়া যাইবেন। কি হইব? এই পাগল ছাগল লইয়া কি হইব।।
মাও নাই, বাপও নাই। দুইজনেই মারা গেছে। এতিম হিসাব কইরা আমিও যাইনা, মাও নাই বাপও নাই। কোন দিক যায়না। আমি সহ্যকইরা থাকি। অত্যাচার মানুষ কত রকম করে, দিনেও ঘুমাইতে দিবনা, রাইতেও ঘুমাইতেও দিবনা…আর কত সহ্য করমু, সহ্য করার মতন না,
