- Female Infanticide (1997): A report on female infanticide in India, and what is being done to eliminate this horrific practice.
Subscribe to Journeyman here: www.youtube.com...
Synopsis: Despite it being illegal, the culture of dowries still exists in certain parts of India. As a result, raising a daughter can be costly - raising two, a financial impossibility. For the poorest families in society this leads them to killing their baby daughters, a process known as female infanticide. The problem, while one that persists, is getting better; programmes have been set up to teach young women skills which will allow them to provide for themselves financially, economic incentives are being put in place to encourage families to keep their daughters, and organisations and women's groups are educating young women in order to bring about a slow but necessary change in societal attitudes. Yet progress isn't always so black and white. A woman was recently sentenced to life imprisonment for killing her baby daughter. Does this put legal pressure on families to raise their second daughters, or is it simply punishing the victims for a wider societal problem? ABC Australia speaks to experts on the issue, and to families whose lives have been affected by the brutal practice.

These men will never be able to have a family without a woman.
You reap what you sow. If everyone only keeps the boys and continues killing and aborting the girls, when those boys grow up to be men they won't be able to find a wife and have their own families. Yet these cultures have no one to blame for it but themselves.
@@sabrinazakrowski1399 It's already happening. There's a big market for wives from SE Asia, many of whom are trafficked.
Good...😐
these women will never be able to have a family without men. whats your point?

How can a women say she is embarrassed to give birth to a daughter
Internalized misogyny 🤢
@@halamilktea ik:(
Cuz she want money coming in and not more babies coming in😂
In India women have to be give money to the grooms family to get a marriage offer. .She has to also go into her husbands home. Its opposite for son.
@@ennakavi2129 the bride's family has to pay the groom's family a marriage price called a dowry. If the family is poor and can offer little or no dowry, the young woman's parents will be less successful in marrying her off and/or the young bride is more likely to be abused or even killed by her husband and/or in-laws.
They say that paying dowry is illegal, so why aren't families who demand dowry (not those who are forced to pay), prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Then infanticide will stop.
Because parents here thinks an unmarried girl is a burden plus they thing they are lower than the groom's side
Dowry or not. How can someone have so little humanity to kill a baby for its gender?
@@parthasarathy7555abortions kill babies regardless of gender. A lot more of them happen here than the Infanticide that happens there. If you want the real answer and the short answer. It's valuing money over humanity. For the love of money is at the root of all evil.
It seems so backward. the husbands family gets the labor of the new daughter. The services provided and a producer of a namesake to keep the family going...it is the husbands family that should pay for the bride if anything. It is rediculous in a society that has female goddess to consider the feminine to be secondary
How come the girls are being taught, instead of the boys who will pressure them to kill? It is the boy who need to be taught to respect girls and life!
True,. the boys need to be educated, it's them who put the pressure on the female to get rid of the infant.
i agree :,) especially if its the men abusing their wives and killing their daughters. theres only so much a woman can do in an aggressive patriarchal society. the first step to change is educating everyone in the newer generations, men and women
Not to sound rude but like that's just earth for you. It's a messed up place
They should give the men the life sentence it'll stop then.
@@witchybaby2898 facts it's life
She's like about to cry when she talk about her daughter getting killed :,((((((
Crocodile tears 😭 all they fucken care is about marriage
@@spark2053 if they all have nothing but boys, and no one keeps their daughters instead of killing them, then when those boys become men they won't be able to find a wife and have a family of their own. They'll reap what they sow.
@@spark2053 they are human some of them have real feelings.
@@FaithandNova Tq
I dont believe her tears , if she was sad she wouldnt stay with that monster of husband and have more kids by him , the child she carrying on her shoulder seem to be young so probability had him recently by that same monster of husband
Is she really saying in front of her daughter, that they killed her sister?
Some people don’t understand why they should say some things in front of children, so don’t be too harsh on her. And she is obviously very said about her daughters death since her husband murdered her child without her knowing.
I would not have said such a thing in front of my daughter.
Her daughters will probably grow up and off a daughter or two themselves someday.
A poor woman sentenced to life, where is the father? Why not sentence him?
They shouldnt be sentenced foe having a girl
If the parents wanted to kill her, they should die
@Prince Vegeta yea
@Prince Vegeta dont you think what they did to their child was cruel?
He's a Man 👌
It’s kinda bullshit that the mother goes to prison for life but the husband and in-laws who basically force them to do it can get away with it
Combine post pardum depression - or post pardum psychosis, with a strong cultural bias like this, and the woman gets life in prison but the men don't? My heart goes out to everyone. Think of all the men and women damaged psychologically in such a setting.
Agree
You're comparing apples to oranges. This is the culture in India. However disgusting & wrong, one cannot compare US law & mental illness to Indian culture & their deeply engrained belief system.
At the end of the day, she, the mother, killed her own child. She knew that murder was wrong and she did it anyways. She could have surrendered her baby near church, orphanage, anything other than kill the baby. The baby is the real victim here. She will never grow up. May she rest in peace!
you know what i just realized...why are all of the programs women based and there isn't anything that is trying to teach the men to have these practices. teaching the women really doesn't do anything for generations. they still have mother in laws and husbands that will take it into their own hands its not like they can run away with the child they are property to their husbands and his family. teaching just females is never the answer you have to educate the men too. like it was said this is a patriarchal society.
+trinaija Oh, at the beginning, they showed a mother-in-law who stopped this infanticide practice! Indians must be made culturally aware. Yes, the young girls and boys are the best prospects.
Yes!!!
To be fair, every society is patriarchal. It’s just that patriarchy takes on different forms from one society to the next.
Women are not the victims anymore. They are organizations that support women and baby girls. Women hold so much more power than we think we do. It’s time to reject nasty traditions and set our own path forward.
After watching these stories of people killing their children, i looked into adoption in these countries on our US state department Website on the rules for adoption from India. I learned that as a same sex married couple for almost 20 years, they do not allow for same sex couples to adopt. These monsters would rather murder their own children than to allow them to be provided an amazing life by people with disposable incomes. I am utterly disgusted, and ultimately saddened. Those children, deserve better.
lol ill be honest im not about it either but id take it over death. its horrible , horrible. they pass judgment but think its OK to screw and get pregnant and then try and say as an excuse they cant feed her...YOU COULDNT FEED YOURSELF WHEN YOU GOT KNOCKED UP!
@@whateveritwasitis I'm so troubled and saddened by people who choose to reproduce knowing that they cannot financially care for the child.
@@whateveritwasitis Do you even understand that these poor Indian people do not even know how they get pregnant or how sexually transmitted diseases are spread? When a woman becomes pregnant, it is from their god. Instead of living in your bubble, try going there & you will see that they do not live like you do nor are educated about much.
@@thetruthhurts599 I certainly hope you feel the same about abortion. If not, it is complete hypocrisy.
Why don't you try to adopt a child from a woman that wants to kill her baby before it's born??? After all, there are over 300,000 in the US are killed here, but your judgment is only for these people???
Judgment Indian style - the woman was pressurised by her neighbours ( and probably by the father ) to kill her newborn daughter , maybe it even wasn't her who killed the baby, but she was sentenced to life imprisonment while others got off scot free.
how embarrassing to have the whole town know you got your period.
not even embarrassing. lol you're so a stupid Western prude
You live where no one in your school would laugh at you or make fun of you?
+kate weiss yes, bubu
it is basically a custom to tell people (more of a formal announcement) that i have a girl at home who has attained puberty and hence is ready to get married. Unlike in western countries where getting married is still a fantasy, in India it is more related to purpose of life. It is true in a way because the ultimate purpose of every life on earth is to live and reproduce (to prevent the extinction of species). In India, none marries a girl who hasn't attained puberty. And that goes by "survival of the fittest."There are girls who attain puberty very late or worst case they never do but just grow old. So putting together, it is not an embarrassing custom. Indian civilization is one of the oldest and we know what we are doing. Except that the country is in the hands of corrupt leaders, we have our own better way of living life. So........
kate weiss happens only in south india..its not a thing in other parts of india.
i honestly think we are all humans. i dont understand gender issues. why cant men and women just love eachother
Because women are born with something men feel entitled to. They don't need to love us in order to get it.
We don't need to love slaughterhouse animals to get fed. We just need to slaughter and contain them.
My family is Indian, born and raised, they came to Canada and had me, Their first kid and I was a girl. My mom was ecstatic, my father was too. So was everyone else in the family. PLEASE I understand that this is beyond any language we can muster, what happens to these girls is beyond horrific but please don't assume all Indian/Chinese parents are like that. REMEMBER all the good women and men who fight to for the rights for these girls and the wonderful fathers and mothers who love their girls
A relative of mine in india was not happy that I was a girl. She tries to act all nice with me to hide that fact that she hates that o am a girl. I eman we live in bombay where it’s irbanized and killing it’s illegal.
Edit: it makes me sad that when people see this, they assume that all of india does this. There are evil people in every country
Your mother might have treasured you but this is the reality for millions of Indian girls. So stop making it about yourself. This is not about your ego or nationalist pride. This is not about saying 'not all Indians are like this!' It's about facing it and getting better. Face it, as a community we're an extremely regressive narrow minded. We're anti black. We're misogynist. We're homophobic. No point being in denial.
what is wrong with you? i too am an indian woman but would never put the "good name" of indian families over this horror!!stand agsint the horror!!females like you make me want to slap all of you with a raw chapati!!
And what about the Widows curse? Where the men throw their mothers out of the house into the streets after their fathers die because they don’t want to take care of them. Making their old widow mothers homeless and letting them stave to death. The way India treats women is shameful.
But you use cow urine and feces but will eat dog over cow and claim your starving?😂
Im a mother of 2 daughters only and I would NOT have it any other way!!!!
The problem is more cultural than religion. 1. The way the society treats a woman itself makes a woman not to have a daughter. 2. The daughter is always going to be married off to someone and will not live with their parents and who will take care of parents in old age. 3. Dowry system. Even very well educated guys expect this which can make a girl's father half-bankrupt and in many households, the daughter's side bear all expenses of marriage. 4. Safety of a girl in our society.
Woman are taking care of there parents but sadly nobody wants to accept that a man and woman both have duties towards there parents
This is Hinduism’s fault they do the same to widows and Dalit
It's really disturbing how women even hate themselves and other women including daughters. *It is because of the society.*
If you do not see each life as precious..and yoy just see it as just a blip of energy on a cycle of reincarnation..then you do not truly ascribe the dignity to mankind to teach individual. IT is true that Christianity ascricribes the sanctity and dignity of each human life to them.
The problem is lack of humanity simple!
And kill not your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you. Surely, the killing of them is a great sin.
Quran 17:31
Alhamdulilah
@Aminah Aq child marriage is haram and the people in the video are Hindus
And the girl child, on Judgement Day, will ask for what crime was she murdered?
ua-cam.com/video/1daDJmi7oIE/v-deo.html
Liaten to this Surah where Allah tells us that the ones who were killed (little children) will ask for what crime they were murdered. Always brings tears to my eyes.
And this syrah us talking about events that build up to and include the day of Judgment.
May Allahs curse be upon the one that kills innocent babies!
Especially idol worshippers! Evil people!
Some couples don't have any child ask them... Having a daughter is a gift from God and a door to heaven...
We killed her-My husband only told me after he killed her. We didn’t discuss the possibility of killing the baby if it was girl during the pregnancy. How frigging sad is that? She feels responsible simply because she didn’t deliver a boy. It’s seen as her failure to conceive a boy even though it’s actually the man’s side of conception that determines the sex of the baby. But I fear that a man would only be more willing to kill a girl baby if he knew that it was his DNA that determines the sex because he could then believe even more that he has the right to decide whether that baby lives or dies. Any culture or religion that permits any sort of killing is no culture or religion worth believing in. And if India wants this to stop they need to do more to help these families out financially and have advocates traveling to as many remote villages and cities as possible to educate people about what can be done to help them and to let them know it’s wrong and illegal. I want to be angry but when the one uncle was explaining that sometimes babies are killed because they don’t want them to suffer made me soften a teensy bit. Of course dowries are not the only reason why these things are happening so it warrants a lot more investigating to find solutions.
It’s the man’s fault for not being masculine enough.men determine the sex .not. They woman.Indian men are feminized.there not masculine enough to have boys 🤣 girls are so lovable.if you can’t take care of a little innocent girl you think you be able to handle a boy lmao.boys will ruin your entire family over there selfish ego.woman will sell there body for money enter prostitution in order to feed there entire family and get out of poverty.I meet the most beautiful woman selling themselves not for themselves but to feed there parents.
Just do away with dowry. That is enough to prevent female infanticide
Monsters!!!!!
Nooo...... it's My Village . Now all Perfect Here .
We don't want our kids to die in poverty or being abused on the grounds of poverty and insufficient needs or being orphaned and become enrolled in brothels or private prostitute roaming in public places
This statement applies only to those who didn't able to raise a girl in healthy environment
I get that in certain parts of the world, people are not well off. I know that having a girl child causes “problems” for these rural areas. But ANYBODY needs to think of the consequences. Getting rid of so many girls: what good will that do? Men need companionship. Women need good husbands. Why take that away from a son? Why take a healthy marriage away,from a daughter? Before there comes that chance? :(
Maybe of the dumped their religion and actually ate a damn cow they wouldn't be starving
Ask China they are literally having a crisis Bc they decided to kill infant girls for years.
Backwards cultures are gunna do backwards things unfortunately.
Imagine caring more about literal cows than an innocent little baby girl. That is the reality of their culture. I highly doubt that the number was as low as 200 victims of infanticide annually. How the hell would anyone even know? It’s not a secret, but it’s also done discretely enough that they’re not going to be able to track the amount well. And the parents aren’t going to admit the truth after their baby is pronounced dead.
Having two daughters is not very rare at all so it’s not hard to connect the dots and realize the instances are likely 1 or 2 orders of magnitude above 200.
Weird how the girls family has to pay for the girl to marry. Normal in most other countries ,the husband takes care of the wife financially
Many cultures have dowries, including Europe until the 20th century. It was to provide the bride with some money of her own.
Yes to bride but not to groom ,in India ,daughter's father goes bankrupt paying dowry@@charlottekey8856
I worked for a doctor who was from India and he explained that these families feel it is better to leave the child die, rather than give it away and have the girl become a sex slave or be abused as a servant in a loveless life.
Her uncle is a good man, God bless him.
We don't know if he's a good man. He did a good action
I only have one child a girl and i can not imagine my life with out her, she is not only my daughter she is my best friend. I was a 18 year teen single mother it was so hard work being a mother with no help but i was blessed to have her in my life. She is 40yrs old now and happily married to a wonderful man and the mother of 2 great boys. so i am a grand mother now and i am very happy with my life.
Without women, those men wouldn't be there!
The person that invented dowry is a genius you have to give "him" that.
The dowry system is extremely backwards
Yes, for her to get access to the man's groin, not as prostitute, but as wife dowry is requited. AS prostitute he needs to pay. Thats how men knew who the wife is...lol.
The person?????
And my dad wants to visit this absolute dump
Great video on an important topic. However, it would be much more impressive if you provided subtitles for those who are speaking in an Indian language (Tamil?) so that your audience could understand what they are saying. It is they, after all, who have the most to teach us about this.
the women should change the game: if a man wants to marry my daugther......pay a high dowery.....otherwise you do not get her!!! Or if possible....get her a good education so she needs no man at all to support her (but unfortunally this is not possible in case of the poor indian people)
In petrilical societies male son is compulsory. A couple is expected to live with sons in old age. So no son no retirement. Women moves to husband's family and lives with his parents, siblings,grand parents. She is the caregiver,cook and cleaner for all. So she can't care her own parents. So each and every family should have a son. Nowadays sex selective abortion happens. So they don't wait till birth to do killing. Infanticide can lead to jail. Dowry still exists. Women need to buy home appliances, utensils and all home needs. Few lakhs of money,gold etc are needed for wedding. Most wedding are sponsored by father of the bride. Raising daughter is considered ploughing in other man's field. You don't get any returns. Educated and employed women's salary goes to hisband family.
It changed a lot in India now. Female infanticide is no more in India and TN is no more a poor state in India.
Liar.
it is there. in a lesser percentage
😭😭😭😭I can't believe this crazy world
Infanticide is a terrible practice. Nevertheless where birth control is not available what are the alternatives? Starvation, castration or female infanticide. When the population grows above sustenance level everyone suffers. All societies have practiced some form of birth control or suffered the consequences. The desire for sex is inescapable, it can be hidden but not eradicated except by castration. Birth control has enabled western nations to start shrinking.
The Quran severely condemned this heinous practice: "When news is brought to one of them of the birth of a female child, his face darkens and he is filled with inward grief. With shame does he hide himself from his people because of the bad news he has had! Shall he retain her on contempt or bury her in the dust? Ah! what an evil they decide on?" (Quran 16:59).
Oh my! Really?
@@deb9784 Mohammed did forbid the killing of girl babies. That's a well known fact I thought.
"Whoever has three daughters or sisters, or two daughters of two sisters, and lives along with them in a good manner, and has patience with them, and fears Allah with regard to them will enter Paradise." (Reported by Abu Dawud, Al-Tirmidhee and others)
Okay but these people are not Muslim don’t bring up a religion they don’t follow and that they probably don’t respect.
@@AkAk-vy7oh infanticide also happens in islam
@@halleyjimenez7485where?
This is such a cruel way of living...
Also just to let you know.. No one can provoke you into anything. When we reach a certain age we all have the responsibility to say YES or NO. No one can FORCE us to do things that we don't want to do. If I offered you drugs.. and you decide to take them .. how can you blame ME? All I did was offer... you have the option to refuse. But men have been blaming women since before the Bible was written. Men refuse to accept their own weaknesses and instead place blame upon others..namely WOMEN.
Because of many videos like this in our country of India these things are now extremely low
"And when one of them is informed of [the birth of] a female, his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief.
He hides himself from the people because of the ill of which he has been informed. Should he keep it in humiliation or bury it in the ground? Unquestionably, evil is what they decide."
Qur'an (16:58-59)
Muhammad is critical of this behavior. He outlawed female infanticide.
I feel in this video that they are blaming the poor mothers when they are helpless, they should be trying to change the attitudes of the fathers and of society!
Killing an infant girl child is very sad and bad too.. Girl child can be given to some rich family for adoption where the girl child can be happy throughout their lives..
Why not give those poor babies up for adoption instead of murdering them. There's so many people who are unable to have children themselves and would be happy have a child.
Which is more important a custom that cost a lot of money or not having the custom at all ? That way you won't have to get rid of your daughters
The dowry system has been banned in India and it is illegal, but the laws concerning it are largely ignored and rarely enforced.
On the one hand it is thought that the woman is property of her husband, yet on the other hand the dowry is basically payment to the man’s family to take the bride. So how the heck does that make any sense?
It says that the Rajputs were the ones who began that. The Rajputs are descendants of Scythians. There is no justification in the Vedas for such an abomination.
That society will end up with a bunch of dudes playing slap ass. Oh- wait. That is exactly what happens there.
@ZimbaZumba may i remind you that once a baby is born it is no longer considered part of the woman's body? and supporting female infanticide is not feminist, its discriminating female babies against male babies, how is that feminist?
actually those infants were lucky, who wants to be born in India and having to live there? Lets face it, no one
We all are in a society where everyone should be lived freely. But due to this stupid knowledge that 'a boy is better than a girl' will not be able us to live us a freely live. I can't even believe that the mother said that she killed her own blood in front of her another daughter. How can people be soo evil?? . First of all who gave them right to kill a baby girl who didn't even know what the hell world is. I think this is the world's horrifying story.😢😠😡

They should clamp down on the cause of this the dowrys. It should be a life sentence to ask for one. Imprison the men and it'll stop. Also do they have access to birth control?
OF COURSE the murder of the baby girl had to be only to the MOTHER.
How can a woman do this to her own child her own flesh and blood mums are sposed to protect their child not kill them cos of their gender
I hope things have changed in the past 14 years

Thanks for the videos, but why no English subtitles? I'd really like to hear from the people themselves, for eg. what did the young mother say about her husband killing her 2nd daughter? Did she agree with it? Did she try to stop him? Some translations would definitely be welcomed.
There is no arguing with an Indian husband! Even if it breaks your heart!
There's a difference between murder and killing.
Murder is when someone thinks if ways to get rid of another by way of death.
Killing is a way to protect ones self if being attacked by another person or animals..
Mens mindsets need to be changed so that women are seen as important and special and instead of a useless burden that needs to die. Women are precious and they matter and they should be seen as such not as an inconvenience that men have to marry off
imagine, giving away a baby is worst than killing her. sad....very sad
The problem is hindusim. The pagans used to do the same in Arabia
asking the mother in front of her first daughter, how crazy and insensitive by the interviewer.
This is just an off based observation but Indian women are so jaw dropping beautiful 😍.
0:48 , 1:22 , 2:32 they all look so so beautiful omg 🥺❤️
@noroncluber Hindu isn't even a race. If you were even slightly educated you would know that Hinduism is a religion.
S'dumb
The conditions are even worse 😣 in dalit community (poor ones), the main cause of all this is some where associated with Hinduism (Brahminism) , first I too didn't thought but now I have been realizied that it is all associated with religion, you have shown conditions of South India I think whatever have been shown is quite better than in rural districts of Uttar pradesh, Bihar (specially)
Then why don’t we see this in Christianity?
Mahr is the gift that is given by the husband to his wife at wedding. It can be anything in any amount, as agreed by the bride and bride-groom.
Allah says about Mahr in the Chapter `Woman' in Quran:
And give the women (on marriage) their Mahr as a free gift.
Qur'an [4 : 4]
If you had given the latter a cantar (of gold i.e. a great amount) for dower (Mahr) take not the least bit of it back ...
Qur'an [4 : 20]
Hinduism moment.
Their precious sons need a woman to bear them children to pass on "the family name." They killed off their chickens, then are surprised when there are no eggs.
Same like the women producing babies in poverty & demanding rich groom for their daughter 😂
Get rid of that stupid dowry culture, which is illegal, and it wouldn't be so expensive for a woman to marry.
What is the use of women
@@bharanidharan-q7b You wouldn't be here without one. Ever thought about that, dummy?
Wow this is horrible, to kill your child the same day she was born just because she was daughter number two.
I’d rather be starving with my kids than having the thought of killing them. Sick people
I remember my family paying for some girls wedding becaus ethe family was so poor they couldnt give anything.
is there really a higher power? how does the power allow this to happen? alive in water for 9 months to be freed to the earth and then killed. where is the balance? all because of money. I am nothing without my children, it is the way I live on this plane forever.
@caitlinisreggaegirl I think we got misunderstood here - I am pro-abortion for whatever the reason in the first trimester of the pregnancy and pro-abortion for specific cases in the last two trimesters. I was just saying that people who do not have access to safe abortion resort to infanticide.
One video game called Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana has a metaphor for a daughter in India and the dowry system, a undead monster called a Zokumethus.
"Why should they suffer what we suffer"
Why are they so worried about the dowry at birth? They don't need to worry about it for another 15+ years, many things can change in that time...
According to Piramalai Kallar Society 1st group of the people is more 60 temples followers are Only Brothers and Sisters . Another 2nd group of the people is more than 60 temple followers are Uncle based people. So 1st group of the people (60 temples) married with 2nd group the people (60 temples). 2nd group of the people (60 temples) married with only 1st group(60 temples). All 60 temples groups of peoples are consider as only brother and sisters. Brothers and Sister Marrage is Illigal and punishable in the society. So Piramalai kallar peope did not adopt their girl child. Some people handed over the girl child to the government organisation along with address proof. The children should be return back after 18 yers to the home. This is the only way to protect the girl child. Because Brother and sister marrage is not accept by the society.
I guess you could also call it very late abortion
A sin to have a baby girl? How about the sin of killing a human being/child? Do these men/families think God will understand?
Dear friends, its not about India, China or Pakistan. Its also not about Hinduism, Islam or Christianity. Its to do with poverty, dignity and equal rights as mentioned in the Gita, Quran and Bible. All children are equal in the eyes of God and this evil will be fought and won!
Urm, I thought Yala is part of Thailand - it borders the northern states of Malaysia though.
Strange though...then again, northern rural communities are...well, different - they don't quite follow regular "rules" and stuff. :S
Sorry to hear this though.
My friend was born in the southern state of Johor and given to his aunt because his mum already had over three/four mouths to feed.
My husband and I have six girls. I’m pregnant again and I’m sure it’s another girl. My body is so tired. He just can’t make boys. At least all our girls are healthy and happy.
How old are you ? Out of curiosity
Stop it! Give importance to your girls instead of looking for the male, what a shame
i want to adopt them!! : (
same 😕
@KakashiandMe It's not judging, it's "how can we help?" These videos breed awareness which is so key. I feel sorry for the babies, the mother, the society, the world. Something is not working, needs to change for girls in the whole world.....There is no gender equality anywhere!
this should maybe have some subtitles so you can understand what they are saying. I'm sure we're missing out on some important stuff.
No arguments about this particular documentary (not sure if, in general atleast, we have such severe dowry cases in Tamilnadu), but journeymanpictures do not provide very good documentaries. Most of the times they show only a single side of the picture, gives it's own opinion too often and there are no subtitles.
Diaries should be abolished. No woman should have to pay a man to marry her. That's when you know that man doesn't love the woman, he's just after the money that he can extort from her family. How stupid can these people be ???
A lot of them are actually homosexual or they like women but for segs only and love other men (homoerotic) but that is also against their culture so they can’t be honest about it and just be with another man.
@@luciddreams6210 I agree. A lot of those dowry hunters are closeted homosexuals. India is very conservative, so lots of girls dont know what male homosexuality is.
One word. Contraception
I have to say, I love different cultures and countries, traditions etc. There are many many places I want to go. India is not one of them. Never been interested at all. To me, it’s a scary unhealthy physically, mentally, and psychologically. Right or wrong, I don’t know but, on the whole I find it very backward and extremely terrible that there is a caste system, seriously wtf? No one needs to live a life of abject misery while someone else sits on a gold toilet. Just my opinion tho.
Y it's My Village Now all Perfect Dude . This infanticide Happened Before 17 Years . Our God's Were Mostly Women . Here they Show One Face of us . We done Every Born Females Much things till their death .
I get you. I'm ashamed to be born in such a barbaric country. I'm an only child to a loving set of parents who always wanted a girl. They are raising me in the best possible way. And yet it upsets me knowing that what is "normal" for me in terms of education and rights is not normal for more than 90% of the women in our country. Parents like mine, are a minority in this stupid country. But just know that people like me also exist here. The entire country is not this barbaric. Now I wanna get out of this country along with my parents as soon as possible
@@intellectualspirit5476 Like you too, my parents have always wanted a daughter but I live in the West not India.
Here there is a lot of misogyny coming from the women themselves, many of them have told me the exact words "I just have to have sons, if they are girls I kill them or leave them in the hospital and I don't even take them"
Then there are a series of discriminations with phrases and gestures.
In the West it's not better, it's just an appearance.
@@intellectualspirit5476 And anyway I wish you good luck in everything and if one day you want to become a mother I wish you to have many daughters. Females are the best of males 🌸🌸
well i am the second of three girls...from the same culture as well, am 25 now, my parents didn't kill me. am in eu at the moment... soon to be married with a man in india... the dowry costs my father 50 000 pounds... and has to pay the wedding costs etc...
i know he worked hard all his life... i just understood it now, that he actually worked to give the money to someone else...because the dowry is only for the grooms parents and his already married sister...
Sounds like your perpetrating it. Why get married? Why accept it? My sister paid for her own wedding. Just say no. It's hard, but you are perpetuating this culture of slavery. Essentially that's what it is.
@@jessigirlrae1688 they don't have a choice in india
Marry someone who doesn't need money and leave money to ur parents so they can rest in well being. Who forces u to marry guy whose demands money? And u say u r in Europe... Really weird. I am from Eastern Europe and my grandfather had to pay money to my grandmother parents to marry her. At present this tradition is over.
@@exposedsubliminalchannels2097a choice starts within you !?
So this is cultural. Marry at a young age. Have children as many as you can. If low on funds, infanticide. The men are responsible?
2 words, BIRTH CONTROL!!!!!!!!
I think this country needs to be educated on birth control or not having sex if u can't afford kids or dont want a girl
In Islaam, we pay women the dowry.
Who kills their perfectly good baby :(
@ZimbaZumba This is totally different from the abortion issue most feminists in western countries fight over. In those cases of abortion a woman does not want to bear a child, be it a girl or boy and she must chose in the first trimester of the pregnancy (before the sex of the child is determined). In this case it is usually the husbands who are warranting the abortion of their female child or killing them after birth & therefore a result of male supremacy. A Feminist would not agree to this.
