Thousands of brides are being burned alive in India despite the practice being illegal, a Christian ministry has warned.
India Partners, a Christian organization that works alonside indigenous Christian grassroots agencies in India, told Mission Network News on Thursday that there are still as many as 8,000 bride burning cases a year in the Hindu-majority country.
A representative with India Partners, identified only as John, said the low view of women is spread through parts of India's society.
“This is true both of men and women. It’s not just of men itself. Most women see the other woman as in an inferior position and not able to recognize her rights as a human being," he said.
The burning attacks, some of which have resulted in deaths, are tied to dowry and marriage disputes in rural districts.
Women in India continue to suffer from a widespread rape epidemic, with many stories of extreme violence, sexual assaults, and murder making international news.
Dalits, members of the so-called "untouchables" lowest caste class in India, are also subject to discrimination, especially those who choose to convert to Christianity.

The worst manager I’ve ever had was a Indian man.
He really thought American workers were beneath is status.
He was fired two years later.
The second worst was a Indian woman.
We always figured she spent her entire life being walked on by men and now it was her turn.

The practice of a wife being immolated on the funeral pyre of her husband is the Hindu practice of “suttee.” A good explanation is given by Encyclopedia Britannica —

The British finally outlawed it in 1829.
Why sati is still a burning issueLast week, 60-year-old Sharbati Bai attempted to commit sati on her husband's pyre in Rajasthan's Sikar district. She couldn't because the village and the police stopped her just in time.
Roop Kanwar, India's last known sati, was not so lucky 20 years ago. Has Rajasthan finally won the war against the practice of sati?
There have been 30 cases of sati or attempted sati over a 44-year period (1943–1987) in India, the official number being 28. A well-documented case from 1987 was that of 18-year-old Roop Kanwar. In response to this incident, additional legislation against sati practice was passed, first within the state of Rajasthan, then nationwide by the central government of India.
Average temperature in Israel in December is about 45 at night. This doesn’t seem to me to be unbearable; I have friends that go camping in such weather... but I’m from Michigan.
Fifty percent kook show...LOL I peeked at your home page. Believe it or not, this yankee thinks Mississippi should be honored as an example of an ideal state. Haven’t been down to visit yet.
Some are hard to work WITH let alone under. Could be they are similar to the elite rich here in the west except here we have individual and in India there are families. Remember there are exceptions in every group.
India has 8,000 bride murders per year, with a population four times the US. The US had 3,208 female homicides total in 2016.
hmmm. He should have thought about what he said. Maybe the people wouldn’t BE useless if their religion didn’t teach them they ARE useless. Boy do I love my God who loved me before I was born and even knew where my molecules were.
Ps 139
13 For You formed my inward parts;
You wove me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;
16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Your book were all written
The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them.
Jesus loves me this I know! For the Bible tells me so!
I learned that song about 5 decades ago. I remember the room and when I drive by the church I smile and thank Him for whispering to me.
India is one of the biggest polluters and global warming contributors in the world! This does not help!
....”Satan is deeply entrenched in India”....
With a welcome mat......the last county on earth I would ever go to. Nasty, filthy dirty, and full of an empty mindless population.....and why their government has to hire so many employees outside their country to do their work labor projects.
No it’s not.....Years ago the Guru’s determined to target the USA by introducing a ‘softer side’ of Yoga practices.....and here we are.
If you have to ask then you haven’t looked into the history of Yoga and why it’s even practiced in the US.... might do you well to investigate something before you begin practicing it.
I’ve learned anyone already practicing Yoga is very defensive about anyone who would suggest this is the first steps of initiation into “emptying your mind”......
Those who ‘practice Yoga’ here in the US haven’t a clue because far too many churches let them use their facilities to hold these classes so they assume it’s ok.
This is playing out exactly how the India Guru’s agenda for the US was planned for when they targeted the US.....and the reason for targeting the US was it’s citizens are well beyond the wealth of the citizens of India.
I was corresponding with a US Physician who got caught up in this stuff. She was in it for years as an Instructor. Then she became a Christian. She of course now goes also on speaking engagements to warn of what people are actually doing when they practice Yogi. If people knew they wouldn’t touch it.
