Per my friend Angie, I am posting this blog to raise awareness about what's going on in India. Bride Burnings is the title of a domestic issue that goes beyond abuse. In short, if a bride's dowry runs out or is not as much as the husband expected, his family will rig the stove to explode in the bride's face. In the event that it did not kill her, the husband will shun her because of the bride's looks and her own family will shun her because she was disobedient and wears those scars. So, she ends up becoming homeless if she gets out of the hospital. What can we do to change this cycle of events and keep the women of India safe? For starters, it would be nice for numerous amounts of letters to be written to the Minister of India requesting legal action against not just the husband but his entire family that was involved. A refuge for these women who need love and assurance as well as reconstructive surgery, counseling, and hope of a brighter future. Let's find a way to raise these women's hopes up by pressuring the Indian government to give them justice
