I'm worried this sisterly barter might go awry!

Dear Diana,
I am married to a good man but have been unable to bear him a child because of a medical condition I have that dictates that I can never be a mother. He is against adoptions, so that's out of the question, too. Recently, I approached my sister (who has three children and whose husband is in a wheelchair) to become a surrogate mother for us. My husband has said he will consider this option after much thought. Meanwhile, my sister has asked me if she can sleep with my husband and enjoy a sexual relationship with him as she has been missing it since her husband got paralysed neck down. She has promised that if she gets pregnant this way, it

would be better and that my husband and I would get to keep the child and that she'll forget it ever happened after the delivery. I am unsure if I should go ahead with this. What if it all goes horribly wrong?

Dear Rangan,
Let's not get into the politics of it all and just say this. If she decided to go back home and blame your parents while she was at it, that was her call. Shouldn't coming back to you, be her prerogative, then? If you think you're being bound to this relationship for no fault of yours, you should give her notice to come back home, now that she has no cause for complaint. If it doesn't work out and she'd rather stay on in Kolkata, tell her that you will divorce her promptly. If there's no love left between the two of you (was there ever?), what's the point in pursuing a dream that isn't there? Don't punish yourself.
