I'm glad you said it Regina. Hopefully, women's rights in India will improve. I wonder, though, if it this situation will improve women's rights in the impoverished communities.

I am glad that now slowly the Indian people are realizing the importance of the girl child in their life. Dowry is slowly going to end and paying the bride's parents, is a dream come true. The girl's parents feeling that their daughter deserves better means that society is changing for the better especially for the Indian women.
