[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please.  Its because we have choices and laws that protect us.  South Asian women need their families for survival and murders of DILs and daughters are not uncommon.  You have no choice but to put up with crap from your elders and in laws.  We dont have to.  We can easily be completely financially independent and (unless there is a psychopath in our family) dont have to worry about being murdered for "honor" or for not producing a son.

"Not uncommon"? They're also not common.

Yeah, too bad with my J.D. from a top ten law school and an established legal career I totally financially dependent on my family :([/quote]

Yes, such murders are common, at least compared to Western society.  In Indian young wives are burned alive rather than divorced because the in laws don't want to give up the dowries the bride brought. In Arab countries, girls are murdered for no wearing full hijab or for speaking to a boy.  It is shockingly and disgusting common fir women to be murdered in these societies.  The low esteem in which girls and women are held, being treated as property rather than people, in many Asian cultures is disgusting.  Sadly, it is exactly those attitudes that create the "strong" families and "respect" for elders in those countries.  Women get no respect until they have a daughter in law to abuse and rule over, fand hence the cycle continues.  [/quote]
