Ah, the subtle differences between wife renting and prostitution. Now if this guy was a polygamist, then he be big pimping Punjab style.

To me the significant line of the story is:

"The male-female ratio is becoming increasing skewed across India because many parents abort female foetuses, preferring sons to daughters."

Thus using abortion to skew the natural population ratio, the same think is being done in China. I can just hear the Planned Parenthood folks indorsing it because "At least it may end up as a way for them to control their population growth."

lets see if I understand this correctly...

People are aborting girls in India because they don't want to pay a dowry... but they are willing to spend 70,000 rupees to a broker to help find a bride for their sons?

Ugh. Think of the wrecks you get from Hertz and Avis. The front end shimmies, the oil light stays on all the time, and what's that smell in the back seat?

This is going on in a primitive latrine of a country where most of the citizens would be mystified by all the personal hygiene products we have all around us.

I'm thinking this might make it as a FOX reality show.
