Girl Children


There is a bulletin board in the hospital here... ' Keep your girl children.' Abortion, altho illegal, is widely practised here. Girl children are a burden to the family. Not only do they leave and become the property of the husbands family when they are 12 or 13, but they take a handsome dowry with them. I am glad I did not have that kind of pressure to deal with. Imagine life without our Jesse. Zack, keep your evil comments to yourself!

  1. It's amazing that people can be so different and still live on the same planet isn't it?
