82. this backward thinking is keeping the country from rising as a whole
it's not just this, but the caste system and some other things. legally , these things are outlawed. but in certain areas they still continue. it's just part of the culture.

not sure what they can do. maybe if they spend more on educating everyone and giving them more opportunities. all those stories you hear about some Indians doing well. these people have opportunities to rise. the girls can get jobs and the family doesn't feel as much pressure to marry her off to some guy to take care of her as she will do it on her own.

but many people don't have this. they are stuck in some shitty system.

i think the key is education plus women's rights.
