True. I have heard a US educated Indian engineer state ‘India has a population of over a billion. A few thousand bride murders isn't even a triviality. Many more people die from snake bites or falls down wells. Why do you westerners constantly search for mites in the eyes of others’.

An accident is different from murder. Could be why. Plus we value every life. I feel the same way about the acid being thrown on women by Muslims. Women are to be loved by their husbands and husbands respected by their wives.

We got pretty wound up about the men being burned alive in cages by ISIS, too.

The blood of the innocent is precious in God’s sight.

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.

Well because it’s pretty easy to see the mega mites throughout the population of India. Burning brides is just one of a gazillion evidences they display.

It’s not the fact that it happens to such a small percentage, it’s that it happens at all! To say the percentage doesn’t matter, is like a pedophile brother saying of his 70 year old sister, “ I only raped her on one day, out of the 25,550 days of her life! (0.000443%)

Being burned alive is not trivial.

I'm sure your acquaintance or whatever, would not volunteer for the job or would not think it was trivial if it were HIM being burned.

It goes to show how little they value life if they consider it trivial.
