There is a market in Bulgaria that sells girls between the ages of 13 and 20 as wives. It is reminiscent of the ‘Dhadicha’ system in Madhya Pradesh. This shocking evil practice is to marry married or unmarried women for money and hire strangers. It is reported that the practice is still going on as no one is willing to file a case and the governments are not interested in taking up the case.
Shivpuri district of Madhya Pradesh is the epicenter of this anti-feminist and anti-human culture. The custom is to rent the women for a month to a year.
Wealthy men come here when they can’t get married or can’t find a partner and hire a woman as a wife on a monthly or annual basis for a low price. For these weddings, there is no need for a wedding ring or thali, just sign the stamp paper of Rs.
In this way, people can rent other people’s wives, daughters-in-law, or even daughters for money. Every year, a market for girls and women for rent is organized here. People from far and wide come here to hire their wives. After confirming the contract, a contract is made between the buyer and the woman on stamp paper of Rs.10 to Rs.100.
Once this agreement is terminated, the man has the power to renew or terminate it. The contract is usually for one hour and a maximum of one year. At the end of the contract, these temporary husbands of women can make different contracts with other men and transfer them to the new owner. There have also been cases where some men have even sold or rented out their wives. It is also becoming a way for husbands to make money. If the woman wants to, she can break the contract in between. If the woman does this, she must give an affidavit on stamp paper. After this, she has to repay the fixed amount to her husband.
According to reports, the rules of the market are strict and abusive. Buyers are likely to call everyone who looks appropriate if there are only a few. The market is mostly for unmarried girls. The girls are said to be priced between Rs 15,000 and Rs 4 lakh. If you are a young virgin, the price will go up. It is said that even poor parents push their daughters into it.
Behind this evil practice are low sex ratio, poverty, and unemployment. such cases have been reported not only in Madhya Pradesh but also in some parts of Gujarat.
