> Why not allow multiple husbands instead? Read an article (lazy to search it again) which says it is already happening in some North Indian states like Punjab

  True. Our building watchman spends 6 months in Mumbai while his brother 'takes care' of his wife. He then goes back and brother comes on watchman duty. Better its my brother than neighbour he says.

    I was about to reply to the parent, where? It's so unreal that you have a first hand example. It came as a shock to me, I wonder what other social phenomenon I have missed.

      In case you have missed this phenomenon you might have missed the following too: - People from Harayana actually paying money to smuggle young brides from UP and Bihar. - Bringing brides from outside has become an election promise in Harayana. - There is an active flesh trade going on between Assam/UP/Bihar and Haryana. There is also arbitrage. For example buying brides from Assam at Rs 5000 for UP but then selling them in Haryana for Rs 10,000 - Church is also responsible for moving young children across country. I remember meeting a young girl from Odissa working in a house in Goa. She was brought there by Church. The girl was later rescued for sexual abuse.

  Same in China. Though I do not believe this is something "already happening". Female infanticide is nothing new in China and India, it started centuries ago, and was worse in old times.
