India is worst example of any cultures. Its so pathetic like their religion that you will puke when u hear to the real stories. .. sorry to say but it is really. Do not look at what they show on TV only.
My indian colleague told me that in her place back in india, if a gal owns lots of property (i.e from dowry etc), n if her husband dies, to keep her property at home, n that it doesnt go to anyone else, even the father in law is allowed to marry her. and such marriages happen often. Now imagine what the hell? they wont ever call it father in law raping her daughter in law. will they? Who needs such culture?
Also their widows are not allowed to re-marry in many places. No matter how old she is and how much time she has spent with her hubby, may be just one night. She is not allowed as per their religion or culture. Is it not very likely that she will fell into relationships with other men? After all she is human too.
These twisted things happen amongst ourselves as well, I know of many Muslim families where widows whilst Islamically they have the right to remarry are pressured not to cos of society and 'what will people think'. Honestly speaking whilst Muslim men usually do remarry after death or divorce how many of the women do?? The father-in-law marrying the girl thing is pretty sick but then again ppl say that those child marriages some Muslims in villages bk home practice are just as bad, I mean a 9yr-old can be married off to a 40 or 50yr-old so Dad can settle a gambling debt or cos the new husband is rich and paid a large dowry or even the promising of two cousins to be married to each other (even when they are still children) without asking their consent just to maintain 'family ties.' Like princessjojo said we shouldn't be so judgemental when there is so much stuff going on in our own culture that can be viewed as just as bad, if not worse.
