Members Rowka Posted October 7, 2008 Members Share Posted October 7, 2008 the child will stay in almost complete isolation at the temple, and will be allowed to return to her family only at the onset of menstruation when a new goddess will be named to replace her. Critics say the tradition violates both international and Nepalese laws on child rights. The girls often struggle to readjust to normal lives after they return home. Nepalese folklore holds that men who marry a former kumari will die young, and so many girls remain unmarried and face a life of hardship. Yeah, I'm not for other cultures...

Members Ender_rpm Posted October 7, 2008 Members Share Posted October 7, 2008 One of the great things about being a member fo the hegemonic culture is that we can make fun of the backward ones That, and it really is a crap job. I remembr the last one when she came on a trip to the US got in trouble for acting childish. She was 9!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Death Hands Posted October 7, 2008 Members Share Posted October 7, 2008 To me, a child that can past those tests has the label of "most brutal budohindi child" at that time. I think it's a cool, if slightly cruel, tradition. If many people had a problem with it, it would be underground/outlawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hearafter Posted October 7, 2008 Members Share Posted October 7, 2008 As a final test, the living goddess must spend a night alone in a room among the heads of ritually slaughtered goats and buffaloes without showing fear. Holy {censored}, even I would show fear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being "the most brutal hindi" is great and all, but it doesn't mean I have to agree with it, just as they are free to do it. Stop being insensitive to be insensitivity. :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I'm tolerant in all respects, but it's just strange to me that people are all "WHAT THE {censored}" at thousands of years of tradition. Chances are, if it's a barbaric tradition from thousands of years ago, most people would say "what the {censored}". But maybe that's just my little bubble.

Barbaric? The Budo-Hindi religions are the oldest living religions on this planet. At their cores, they are basically unchanged. This? This is a part of that from the old days. I don't see anyone {censored}ting their pants over polygamy unless it hits the news. How about Islamic women? {censored}ting a brick? No? To me, it's just funny that all things of that nature are not met with the same volume of hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ender_rpm Posted October 7, 2008 Members Share Posted October 7, 2008 Critics, not lawmen of any sort atall. The International Convention on Human Rights IS law to any country that is a signatory. (Note: The US is not a signatory nation, as it feels the convention does nothing domestic laws don;t already enforce, or that it allows too much foreign interference in domestic matters. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
