Just how deep rooted is gender discrimination in India?
- the local revenue accountant ( a government of India employee) says there is no need to mention the names of daughters when drawing out a family tree
- the local police constable who has to verify our identity and residence finds it strange that my husband lives in the same house as his in-laws and asks additional interrogatory questions. (the norm being my husband and I should either be living with his parents or be living on our own)
- even though the donor's husband has given consent, the donor's son has also to give his no objection. Ofcourse if the donor had just daughters they would not ask for such things.
'happy women's day'!!!
