In the "tradition" of India, boys symbolize the wealth of the family, while girls represent "bad luck" to the family. In addition, girls need to pay a lot of dowry when they get married, which leads to the extremely low status of Indian girls in the family, which is most common in most remote families, and girls who are only a few years old often have to undertake overloaded housework.
Just recently, an infuriating thing happened again in India. Just because the girl did not obey the "training" of her elders in her family and changed into clothes that satisfies them, she was beaten to death by her relatives with sticks. The cause of the incident was a pair of jeans that were too ordinary.
27, British media BBC reported that 17-year-old Indian girl Niha lives in the most remote rural area in Uttar Pradesh, India. The girl's mother told reporters that on the night of the incident, Niha, who was only 17 years old, was asked by her family elders to conduct religious prayers together.
Before the prayer began, Niha was scolded by her uncle and grandfather for wearing a top and jeans. Her loved ones asked her to wear traditional Indian costumes before praying.
"But, this is just a pair of pants, it is meant to be worn on it. Why should I change it?" Niha refuted the scolding of her uncle and grandpa at home. And it is this rebuttal that brought Niha a death crisis.
reported that after Niha refuted, her dispute with her relatives continued to escalate. Then, the angry uncle and grandfather knocked Niha to the ground. It was not until Niha was lying on the ground and unconscious that the demons in their relatives cloak stopped beating.
Niha's grandparents planned to send him to the nearest hospital for treatment after Niha's coma. It is worth mentioning that Niha's grandparents did not allow Niha's mother to accompany her to the hospital. After waiting helplessly at home for a night, Niha's mother, who could not wait for the news, could only walk to the hospital to inquire about the news. Shortly after Niha's mother walked out of the village, Niha's already cold body was found on the broken bridge at the entrance of the village.
"Do you know? My daughter has been studying hard. Her wish is to become an Indian policeman when she grows up. But she no longer has the chance to realize her dream. It is not someone else who caused it, but her grandfather, uncle and other cousins." After hearing the news of her daughter's death, Niha's father rushed home from a construction site in the distance overnight.
At the request of Niha's parents, local police intervened in the investigation. Subsequently, Niha's grandfather, uncle and 10 other relatives were arrested by the police, and the police charged these thugs with intentional homicide and destruction of key evidence. According to Niha's father, these are Niha's relatives, and he hopes that the police can deal with these thugs quickly and seriously.
reported that Niha's incident is not an individual case that happened in India. Because among the lower class residents of India, the idea of "ignoring women's rights" has penetrated into the bone marrow, and some babies are even more traumatized by their relatives after they are born.
"For women, there is no freedom at all. Their every move will be subject to family constraints. Once behavior or language is surpassed, those who await these girls will be severely punished." The BBC emphasized in the report that the human rights of Indian women should be taken seriously.
