After comforting Sakura, Tanmi walked up to Shakru and said with emotion: "Sakura's father is really pitiful, he still has to have such a dangerous operation at this age!"

But Shakru shook his head and said: "I think that Pan Dai is even more pitiful, do you think about how helpless a person has to be forced to sell his kidney? Although a person can still live after removing a kidney, I don't think a person will agree to such a thing if he has some way." Although I did not see what Mr. Pandet looked like, I could probably guess that they were really desperate just by looking at the way his wife was dressed and her expressions and temperaments!"

Glancing at Pan Dai's wife, who was dressed in shabby clothes and looking sad and numb, Tan Mi nodded and said, "That's right, they are indeed quite pitiful. ”

Unexpectedly, Ibrahim, who was on the side at this time, leaned over and said: "Do you think this Pandai is pitiful? Then don't you see a more pitiful person, for example, you go to see the No. 3 operating room!"

Shakru glanced at Ibrahim's guidance, and then asked puzzledly: "I don't see any pity for the family members of the No. 3 operating room, although they are very nervous and worried, but looking at their clothes and temperament, they should have a good standard of living!"

"I'm not talking about the family members who buy the kidneys, I'm talking about the people who sell the kidneys!" Ibrahim corrected.

"The kidney-seller? Huh? Why don't I see the kidney-seller's family? Did they all go to the bathroom? Or does he have no family?" asked Shakru curiously, because the people who sold the kidneys in Chennai must be Indians, but the operating room No. 3 is full of Westerners, and it is obvious that there are no family members of the kidney-sellers.

Ibrahim snorted coldly and said, "Of course there are family members, but it's not that they went to the bathroom, but they didn't come at all!"

"Ah?!, no, the family members of such a big operation are not coming?" Shakru was shocked.

"Maybe there is some contradiction between the kidney seller and his family, for example, the money from selling the kidney is swallowed alone, but this is understandable, after all, this is his own kidney!" Tan Mi guessed.

Ibrahim waved his hand and said, "Contrary to your guess, all the money from the sale of her kidney was taken by her family, her husband. Not only that, but she had to be discharged immediately after the operation, because her husband would not pay for her to continue to be hospitalized, and she had to go home to work after being discharged!"

Hearing this reply, Tan Mi was stunned and stunned: "Why, why?!

"Because she is a woman, you know, in our India, the status of women is very low. Ibrahim explained.

"Honey, is that really the case?" said Tanmi, incredulously to Shakru.

Shakru nodded and replied, "Yes, in India, especially among low-caste families living in poverty, the status of women is indeed not high. ”

Then he turned to Ibrahim and asked, "But that doesn't force people to sell their kidneys, does it?"

"Oh, I learned about this before, and the situation is like this, the girl's father promised to give the girl's husband a dowry of 100,000 rupees, but in fact he didn't take it out, so the girl's husband felt that he had been deceived, so he found such a way to make up the dowry. ”

Although Tan Mi said that he could not understand this answer, Shakru felt that it was not surprising to him that this kind of thing happened in the middle and lower classes of India, although it was a bit cold-blooded to say this, but it was true.

It may be hard to believe that in 2007, 8,233 Indian women died due to dowry-related reasons, an average of one woman was killed by dowry abuse every hour! The vast majority of the deaths were young women between the ages of 18 ~ 30.

If the man is not satisfied with the amount of the dowry, he will force the new wife to commit suicide in various ways (in essence, he also kills), but more often than not, it is murder for the man's family, especially through gas burning, poison, beatings, abuse, etc., and secretly kills the woman under the pretext of domestic disputes or kitchen accidents, which is often referred to in Indian newspapers as the "kitchen incident" , of which direct thrusting into the fire is the most common (this is also related to the Indian kitchen form, where the stove is set on the ground, and women squat by the stove to cook, which is easy to be pushed into the fire)

After the man burns a bride, due to the low rate of case filing, insufficient evidence, and family protection, it is difficult to bring the perpetrator to justice even if the police intervene (in fact, only about 35% of cases), and the man will soon marry another bride and earn a large dowry. The most hateful thing is that the low reporting rate is because many of the woman's parents turn a blind eye to it - because it is likely that the woman's father has just killed a bride with his son, and is looking forward to killing another one to make up for the loss of property caused by marrying his daughter. The families of the victims are also the families of the persecutors, and only those young women, abandoned by their fathers, murdered by their husbands, ridiculed and persecuted by their own female compatriots, have fallen victim to the fire of patriarchal greed.

After listening to Shaklu's explanation, Tanmi asked incomprehensibly, "Since this kind of thing is so common, why doesn't your government care about it?"

As early as 1961, the Anti-Dowry Law was introduced, and even specifically stipulated that if a woman dies due to abuse or harassment within seven years of marriage, the person concerned will face a punishment of life imprisonment!" (For more information on this, please see the second episode of Aamir Khan's "Truth Interview"!)

"W-What kind of law is this?Is it possible to legally abuse and die after seven years of marriage?" Tan Mi asked with some collapse.

Shakru waved his hand and said, "Of course not, but because this situation usually occurs seven years before marriage." ”

"Then since there are laws, why would this kind of thing happen?" Tan Mi asked.

"Because it's not just a matter of enacting a law, it's like the government has long since announced the abolition of the caste system, but do you see that in reality the racial system has been abolished? ”

PS: Actually, when I wrote this, I realized that it would be better if the kidney seller this time was changed to a woman, and then lead to criticism of this phenomenon, but unfortunately it was too late.......

PS2: When I wrote the next chapter, I suddenly found that it was not appropriate to discuss this issue with the identities and characters of Shakru and Carter, so I revised the second half of this chapter, I hope you understand!
