She Out-Argued Death

She was told the date her husband would die, before she married him.

She married him anyway. And then she argued Death out of it.

A daughter asked for

Ashwapati, king of Madra, had no children. He spent eighteen years in austerity, and offerings to the goddess Savitri.

And at the end of it the goddess appeared. And told him he would have a daughter.

The daughter was named for her, and she grew up formidable enough that no one came to ask for her.

So her father told her to go and choose for herself. She travelled with an escort of elders, through kingdoms and hermitages, and came back having decided.
