Two women approach the King of Persia, dragging between them a young man called Arya.
"This young man promised to marry my daughter," said one of the women.
"No! Arya agreed to marry my daughter," said the other woman.
The two women kept on arguing in front of the King, until he called for silence.
The king announced, "I have a solution to your problem. I will cut this young man into two pieces with my sword. You will both receive a half."
"I am fine with the idea," said the first woman. But the other woman cried, "Oh King, please do not kill this man. Let the other woman have him and marry him to her daughter."
The wise king had taken his decision. He announced, "This young man, Arya must marry the daughter of the first lady."
"But that's unfair!" exclaimed the court.
The wise King said,"As she was willing to see the young man cut in two, it proves she is indeed the TRUE mother-in-law!"
