Malformed Marriage Customs in India--Movie "A Country Without Women"
The imbalance between men and women has spread to the marriage and family model in Indian society. Ugly phenomena such as "child marriage", "change marriage", "group marriage" and "rent marriage" have resurrected, and the situation of sexual crimes is becoming more and more serious. The prevalence of indiscriminate killing of baby girls has led to a shortage of brides in many villages and towns. His Indian girl, Karki, was given a wife by his father's five sons in a family. He was bullied and miserable. This is a movie that warned India, "A Country Without Women", depicting the consequences of sexism in India in the 21st century.
The latest census results show that the sex ratio of men and women in India is unbalanced. The Indian Prime Minister is very distressed by this, so the bad habit of stipulating selective abortion and killing baby girls is India's "national shame." According to statistical results, there are 40 million more men than women in India, and there are far more new boys than girls. The hidden social risks in the future can be imagined. UNICEF issued a warning for this: India will face unforeseen serious social problems in the future unless it takes severe measures to solve it!
Deformed Marriage Customs in India-In some places such as Gujarat, the business of "renting a wife" is booming.
In India, the most cruel words are "May you have a daughter". If the father of a newborn baby opens his hands together, that is, "with both hands empty", it means that he has a daughter. What's more, in Rajasthan, one of the rituals of giving birth to a daughter is to smash a crock, saying that it is unlucky, a bit like the so-called "joy of making tiles" in ancient China.
In some places like Gujarat, the business of "renting a wife" is booming. It can be rented for a monthly total of 1,800 yuan, and can be changed frequently. Some impoverished Indian husbands have proposed a shocking "wife rental" plan, that is, renting out wives to relatively wealthy men, the monthly rent is up to 100 pounds.
Under the very severe situation in Gujarat, the local government launched the "Save Girl" campaign, which achieved "slow but effective" results. Over the years, Gujarat has successfully implemented literacy and gender equality education policies. Many taxi drivers are women and have a certain social status. The 2011 census showed that the number of girls per 1,000 boys in the state was 959, which was at the forefront of Indian states.
In the Maharashtra state where Mumbai is located, the wealthy local government has introduced a cash incentive policy: once a baby girl is born, she will receive a reward of 5,000 rupees (about 1,000 yuan) in her own account , But only if she can successfully complete her studies and get married after the age of 18, this money can be cashed.
Deformed Marriage Customs in India--Child Marriage
Similarly, child marriage is a very common phenomenon in India. In his tens, it should have been a carefree age, but in some remote villages in India, girls may be forced to marry at this age, thus beginning the tragic fate of child brides. In the wedding season in May each year, hundreds of places in India hold large children's mass weddings. Many parents are marrying Zhang Luo, a child of about 10 years old, and some brides are still breastfeeding.
"Child-married women are more likely to have more than three births, and the probability of giving birth to two children is less than two years, multiple accidental pregnancy, termination of pregnancy and sterilization are also high." The researchers said. The results of the study show that not only are adolescent girls aged 16-17 but also a large number of girls aged 14-15 affected by child marriage. The researchers said that it is inspiring that the current policies and economic development in India cannot help rural women and poor women.
Babies who can't walk yet are placed in large metal trays to complete various wedding ceremonies. According to the custom, the young girl still lives in her family after marriage and goes to her husband's house after she is 11 or 12 years old. The custom of child marriage seriously hinders the progress of Indian society and is a serious social problem in India. The Indian government passed a law prohibiting child marriage in 1929, but it did not work.
Malformed marriage customs in India-UNICEF said in its report that more than one-third of the global "child brides" come from India, and more than half come from Southeast Asia.
In 1978, the Indian government raised the age of marriage for men and women to 21 years for men and 18 years for women, but child marriage is still very popular in many areas, especially in mountainous areas. One reason is that child marriage is cheap, and the other is that child marriage is promoted by Hindu classics. This kind of wedding is the same as a normal marriage. After the matchmaker's words and the parents' orders, a formal wedding ceremony is finally held. The wedding is the same as the wedding of an adult. Children 3 and 4 years old are neatly dressed, wearing necklaces and bracelets, and circle the "Holy Fire" 3 times under the guidance of an adult.
A national family health survey conducted in India in 2005-2006 showed that 22.6% of women were married before the age of 16, 44.5% of women were married between the ages of 16-17, and 2.6% of women were married before the age of 13.

Although child marriage is prohibited in India, Nepal and Pakistan, traditions and customs make child marriage still exist in these areas.
The bad practice of child marriage can still exist in India today, with complex social reasons. Economic issues are one of the most important aspects. Since ancient times, India has had a dowry system. When a girl is married, her family must accompany a large amount of money. According to tradition, the smaller the woman, the less dowry the man asks for; the smaller the man, the smaller the wedding expenses. Therefore, in view of many poor families, it is quite cost-effective to let their children get married as soon as possible. In addition, the ancient Indian religious code allowed child marriage, and the parents of girls worried about the premarital sex of their daughters when they grew up, which would shame the family. These are also the factors that continue the practice of child marriage.

It is said that this kind of footbell is not only for the beauty of evil spirits, but the more important purpose is to prevent the bride from attracting bees and attracting butterflies and doing deviant things.
Indian women will make full use of jewelry to dress themselves up. Even women in poor families should give up their belongings and wear some cheap metal or plastic jewelry. After marriage, Indian women are generally getting richer, but as long as they are wrapped in saris, half-covered and half-covered, the indistinct figure is still intimidating. However, after all, the jewels and jealousy were all dressed up as a group of beautiful "female slaves".
