武男(たけお)の反対(はんたい)は完全に(かんぜんに)無視され、強制的に(きょうせいてきに)離婚(りこん)させられた

Namiko's mother-in-law, Shige, claimed that 'a sickly bride is a disgrace to the Kawashima family and cannot bear an heir,' flatly demanding a divorce from Namiko's family. Takeo's strong wish from the battlefield that 'I do not want to divorce Namiko' was entirely ignored, and the two were forcibly divorced by the relatives' logic of the family system. Namiko, weeping bitterly, was taken back by her family to spend her recuperation by the beach in Zushi.
