[Assam] Rent a wife - TOI

[umesh sharma]

My landlord was telling of contract marraige is Middle East (I Think he mentioned Afghanistan and not ME) where prostitution is banned so clients have contract marriage for a few hours where time and date of its annulment are mentioned- thus overcoming the ban.

It has been thought for some time (in a simplistic fashion) that the terrible sex ratio and selective live births in India will eventually be corrected by "market forces" as women become terribly scarce and start commanding a price in the marriage market thus encouraging parents to have more girls. What does this story suggest?
