B - Bride Burning in India kills or maims thousands of women every year!
Are Our Sisters And Daughters For Sale?
“Are our Sister and Daughters for Sale?” is an article written by Himendra Thakur in 2008 as a part of the newspaper India Together. In the article Thakur comments on the subject bride burning in India and gives an inside of the women’s horrifying living conditions.
People in most of the eastern countries follow an arranged marriage system and consider it as something great. In India people give much importance to family relationship and is what the system seems to protect. In the system the parents find a suitable spouse for their son or daughter which reduces the chance of marrying outside their own religion or class. If the children choose to marry according to their own desire, it will be considered as a threat and shame to the family, and the children will be punished, sometimes even killed. Therefore most children follow their parents’ orders, and it´s from this standpoint that the article begins.
In the article we are provided with an inside look of those women who are married away to a complete stranger. There are numerous of women who suffer from daily harassment in their own homes by those who they are supposed to love. In the societies it´s typical for women to be seen as an irrelevant person, and is why they often get humiliated and harassed. But sometimes the harassment goes from being physical to mental, and therefore some women choose to flee. But because of the traditions surrounding them, no one are willing to help them, including their parents, simply because it´s seen as a social stigma. Therefore the parents tend to send their children back. But there is an alternative, the government shelters. But here the conditions are so horrible that no women would live there. Therefore they simply subjugate the suppression.
“A bride will prefer to die at the hands of her in-laws than to move one of those “shelters”. (Page 2, line
