Get a bride for Rs 1,000

[b555]

CHANDIGARH: Haryana, reeling under a skewed sex ratio, is faced with yet another startling fact – an NGO has found that girls are being "bought" and brought to Haryana from 20 states across the country. The state's sex ratio stands at 837 in the 0-6 years age group, its lowest in the last five years and second only to Punjab. In one case, the family of a girl from Bihar was paid just Rs 1,000. In its report released in Pune on Saturday, the NGO, Drishti Stree Adhyayan Prabodhan Kendra, has found that most of the girls were brought from West Bengal, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Assam. It's findings also indicate that girls were bought within the state too. The NGO surveyed 10,190 households in Haryana and found 318 women who were bought and married off to men in Haryana. The NGO has shared the findings with the Haryana government. Among these 318 women, 145 are from different parts of Haryana, followed by West Bengal (43), Bihar (27), Andhra Pradesh (17), Assam (15), Uttar Pradesh (14), Himachal Pradesh (11) and Rajasthan (10). Women have been brought from other states too, including even prosperous states like Gujarat. The NGO has covered a population of 56,520 in 92 villages of five districts -- Sonipat, Karnal, Mahendragarh, Sirsa and Mewat. The study was conducted to ascertain whether the brides came from other states and if a price was paid to get them to Haryana. The NGO found that in number of cases, men had to buy their wives despite the fact that dowry system is prevalent in Jatland. The report says whenever respondents were asked about money being paid for brides, the women chose to be silent. Only 15 women out of 318 reported that money was paid to their families. The amount varied between Rs 10,000 and Rs 1.5 lakh. "This may not be a big amount but these girls come from poor families and this could be luring parents to give away their daughters, despite the girls going to faraway lands and having to adjust into alien culture," the report said. :omg:

Alarming! And not natural!

Laanat on the people who are offering to buy females for wedding' date=' and even more shameful is the fact that people are willing to sell their daughters :headshake: what a utter dis-regard for the poor girls, what kinda phuddu parents are these? saaley bachay paida karo aur becho :finger:[/quote'] It's a general disregard for human life. Sons are treated better not because they are blood, but because they can start earning from a small age. Daughters on the other hand are considered liabilities. It happens when populations gets out of control. General value of human life goes down.

Well probably they can't afford the dowry. Lets face it, a good chuck of our marriages are actually a form of a trade.

shame

I am just against this Dowry system.Why the feck do a father has to pay for having a girl child.Isn't that discrimination ? And we say we have started giving equal rights to both girls and boys. Actually if we dig a little more into such controversial topics, we would come across many cases wherin, girls died due to their parents not ready to pay dowry and in fact they started beating girls for having taken birth at their house.I mean WTF ? The girl didn't cam out on her own, you parents gave her birth and you now have the responsibility to give her the best that you could. In the backward areas of India, girl trade i pretty common.In the outskirts of city, some villages, girls and young women are exploited and are then killed and thrown away when their purpose are solved.More often than not, the child that the women bore is also thrown away with her. This kind of ridiculous cases have been increasing in number in the recent past, this just shows that our country can call itself developed, but the people residing in it are yet handicapped in the minds to understand the importance of women.We are very backward in thoughts, and our attitude towards women. P.S : I am not talking about the city crowd, I am talking about the general village crowd and the backward regions.

Bought brides sent to other men' Sukhbir Siwach, TNN, Nov 30, 2010, 04.14am CHANDIGARH: In a seamy twist to the bride-buying story in Haryana, six women bought for marriage to the state, said they were forced into having sex with other men. A majority of them also complained of domestic violence. Pune-based NGO Drishti Stree Adhyayan Prabobhan Kendra, which surveyed 10,190 households in Haryana, found that 318 women were bought from all over the country and married in the state. Its report stated, "These women come from poor families and have no support system. They cannot take any step against domestic and sexual violence. Though, the number of such victims is small at present, there is need to address the problem of skewed sex ratio through an appropriate forum." "The figure of such victims may be much higher because it's very difficult for a woman to share details about exploitation," NGO secretary Anjali Deshpande pointed out. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/Bought-brides-sent-to-other-men/articleshow/7012741.cms

Not surprising in a culture where women are not considered to be equal to men. More than those that sell their daughters, you have to blame those that buy. What kind of sicko do you have to be to buy a girl??? For the girls, it's either a life of starvation with their poor families or one of abuse with the new family. Not sure which is worse. I am sure that even this skewed ratio has not stopped female infanticides.
