INDIA - A man in Kerala, South India, allegedly sold his wife for Rs6,000 (S$138) to finance his drinking habit.

Makkal Osai reported that Medula Rajender, 42, worked as a labourer.

When he was short of cash to buy liquor, he struck a deal with a broker to sell his 36-year-old wife Medula Ammayi last Saturday.

The incident came to light after police received a complaint from the couple's 18-year-old son.

Rajender had dragged his wife to a bus station, telling her to wait for someone there.

Somehow, she managed to get to another village and went to a relative's house where she related her plight.

"I have been married for about 20 years. But I could not imagine even in my wildest dreams that he would do such a thing," she said.

The couple have two other sons aged 12 and 15.

Police said Rajender used to harass Ammayi for money.

No bad, at least the Indian woman is still worth some money. In Sinkapore, we have to pay our own women via maintenance to get rid of them.

No prizes for guessing what race that is. It's so obvious and in your face just like asking someone what color is the sky in the day time. Where do birds fly for the the winter. What color is a white man?

The problem is the govt. The govt isn't compassionate enough to support his family for him.

An Indian woman and her 13-month-old daughter were allegedly set on fire by her husband and her in-laws over a dowry payment dispute ten days ago, the Times Of India reports.

Pravartika Gupta, 25, succumbed to her injuries and died at a New Delhi hospital on Sunday. Her daughter, Idika, is reportedly fighting for her life after suffering 55 per cent burns on her face and body. The Times of India adds that the baby's condition is "critical."

According to the Hindustan Times, Gupta's mother-in-law Sushma has been arrested. However, the woman's husband, Ashutosh, and father-in-law, Ram Mohan Gupta, are "evading arrest."

The newspaper adds that Gupta's father alleges that the woman's in-laws were "torturing her mentally and physically" over a dowry demand of several thousand dollars.

The woman's relatives also claim that Ashutosh and his father had been angry with Gupta "not only because their dowry demands had not been met, but also because they had wanted their first child to be a son."

The couple married two years ago, the Times of India reports.

The Telegraph writes that Gupta's case has "shocked" India -- a country where more than 8,000 women are reportedly killed every year because "their husbands' and in-laws' demands for lavish dowry payments are not met."


On Monday night, relatives of the baby girl reportedly kept vigil outside the hospital as nurses treated the child in an intensive care unit where she is being kept, the Telegraph adds.

"Why did he do this? He had everything, a beautiful wife, a beautiful girl, a prosperous house. What was in his mind we don't understand," Rajesh Gupta, one of Idika's uncles, told the Telegraph.

Ah neh culture. Its either selling wife, drinking, demanding for more dowry or setting their wives on fire.

Which reminds me of 1 sikh security guard sleeping off his alcoholic daze in our conference room 1 sat afternoon (this was awhile back even before security work fore crunch). After he got a nasty wake up call, he penned a longish apologetic letter (by long hand) in most eloquent english -asking for 2nd chance etc.
