	Rooftop Country Awaits Massacre Explanation, Curfew Imposed
		Queen Aiswarya, Dipendra's mother, who had a reputation for being strong-willed, reportedly objected to the marriage, but it was not clear what the queen's alleged objections were.
		There has been much speculation: Some reports said the queen preferred an arranged marriage, which many Nepalese have, and others said Rana's family connections to India may have been a problem, since relations between the two countries are sensitive.
		Still others theorized that the queen was worried because the union was apparently not written in the stars.

		The Nepalese monarch was a kindly man but he had grown weary of the nagging dispute between Queen Aiswarya and their eldest son, Crown Prince Dipendra, over the young man's choice of bride.
		She scorned the feudal objection raised by the queen and her coterie: that Devyani's great-grandmother was a mistress, and therefore she could not meet the requirement of seven generations of "pure" lineage.
		Looking at portraits of the late Queen, it is not hard to imagine that what Shelley called "the sneer of cold command" must have been fixed on Aiswarya's face that evening.
