Today i was reading the news about how a very inspiring Indian woman named laxmi filed for a annulment in India. Arranged marriages doesn't only occur in India, but it happens worldwide. As we all know, these are very old practices of people that is still happening especially to those who live in the poorer side of the country. I feel sad when I hear news about children being wed to other children or to even Senior citizens. It angers me thinking how cruel these men are, do they have no morals? did they forget that once in their life they came from a woman as well? They may think that through this they are somewhat helping other families, but to be clear. Your being a rapist, with just the Legal papers!! That is why when I read the news today I was extremely thrilled to read about Laxmi, on how courageous she was to go against her parents, her in-laws and also the whole population of the Indian community who were against her. Correct me if I'm wrong, it has been said that if a woman was unwed she may be prone to being raped or molested by a group of men. Does this mean that if you do not get married something terrible could happen to you? but at the same time if you do wed, there may also be instances that your in-laws could abuse you? Such a confusing situation aye? But despite everything, I just want to clear the air. I truly can say that not all Indians are alike, I'm sure most or everyone of you would have met an Indian once in your life, and their not all the same! I for one grew up with a awesome Indian girl, plus her parents are crazily awesome as well. I remember her mum preparing dinner for us girls and we would sit at the dining table like a family and talk about our plans for our future. (Happy days! Just saying) And for the record, Have you ever met an Indian who has an average mental intelligence? because for some reason all that I've met are amazingly intelligent! It's true, they are known to be one of the smartest people. (Again, Just saying).

To get on with it (Yes, i was abit sidetrack for a bit) Iwanted to dedicate this post to Indian fashion, to the Modern day Woman.
