(4,035 posts)Almost one third, if I'm not much mistaken, we are talking about large parts of the world when it comes to women's lives. And it doesn't just impact the lives of women there, but also in their neighboring countries, like Laos, Cambodia, Bangladesh, where women are kidnapped and sold as brides to boys who cannot find a wife nearby....because the girls have been aborted or killed.
(Oh, and before you object to my categorizing these males as boys and not men, it's because a proper man wouldn't buy a wife like he does cattle. Historically, though, that's what usually happened, but you seem to have a history knowledge deficit, so you may not know that. These days, we call someone being bought and sold a slave, and any sexual intercourse that someone must have with their master rape.)
