Strange Indian custom: "Holy Maiden" is actually a tool for monks to vent their sexual desires

Speaking of India's strange customs, it can be said that it is inexhaustible. India is a country with diverse traditional cultures and one of the world's oldest civilizations. In the long history of India, various strange customs have been circulated, many of which are bad habits. The following editor will take stock of India's incomprehensible bizarre customs for everyone.

"Holy Maiden" is actually a tool for monks to vent their desires

India has a tradition as old as its history-girls from untouchable families begin to serve in monasteries at a young age and become sexual slaves to senior Hindu monks and Brahmin elders. They are called saints.

In India,"saint" is not a decent name. According to tradition, the "Indian saintess" all come from untouchable families. They were forced to sell themselves to temples as soon as they entered puberty. In front of people, there is a glamorous name to cover up the shame-the Holy Maiden; behind it, there are nothing more than free "sex slaves" for senior Hindu monks and Brahmin elders. This kind of ugly thing cannot be hidden from others, so a girl who enters a temple and devotes herself to the gods is destined to betray her youth and body, and is also destined to live a strange life without marriage for the rest of her life.

In addition to serving as sex tools for monks, they are also a circulation point for HIV. Indian society will pay a high price for this. India has more than 5 million people infected with HIV. If not effectively controlled, 3 million new cases will be added every ten years. As early as 2003, AIDS became the deadliest disease in India.

The limelight of the toilet overshadows the wedding room

It is no exaggeration to call India the "world's largest outdoor toilet". Almost every foreigner who has been to India will be deeply impressed by the toilets here. Some people laughed and said that in India, toilets are everywhere, and the earth is the largest open-air toilet. India's 2011 census show that about 131 million households across the country do not have toilets, 8 million households use public toilets, and 123 million households use toilets outdoors, which is particularly difficult for women.

Bandshwa Patak, founder of India's "Surab Health Campaign", said that women do not go outdoors to go to the toilet during the day and must solve the problem from dusk to dawn."Walking barefoot in those places can easily be contaminated with tapeworms, bacteria, suffering from a variety of diseases, and it is unsanitary for children to play in those places."

India's Minister of Rural Development, Jayram Ramesh, said that India "should feel ashamed" that 60 to 70 percent of women are forced to use toilets outdoors.

The business of "renting wives" is booming

In India, the most vicious curse is "May you have a daughter." If the father of the newborn baby closes his hands and opens them again, which means "empty-handed", it means that he has given birth to a daughter. What's more, in Rajasthan, one of the rituals for giving birth to a daughter is to smash a crock to express bad luck, which is a bit like the so-called "joy of making a brick" in ancient China.

Because of the prevalence of indiscriminate killing of female babies, many villages and towns lack brides, a local social mutation has emerged in India-renting wives.

In some places such as Gujarat, the business of "renting wives" is booming. You can rent it for 1,800 yuan per month, and you can exchange it frequently.

Some impoverished Indian husbands are also very responsive to the "wife rental" plan, renting out their wives to relatively wealthy men in exchange for rent of up to £ 100 a month.
