Sounds great. What happens to the wife of the guy? Is she supposed to throw
herself on a funeral pyre when he puts on his saffron robe? Who provides for
her in her old age? Does he come around with the begging bowl and give her
half the take? I always thought that there was a big flaw in this
system...But, if you come from a country that does sonograms so that it can
abort female babies, I guess this is a non-issue.
