Is it a sin to be born a woman?


- and be the wife of a male who couldn't protect the honour of the family ? 

A 30 year-old Syrian mother of four fled the war with her family early last year . When her husband ran out of money to pay their smuggler in Bulgaria, he offered his wife as payment instead. For three months she was raped almost daily to earn her family's onward journey. Soon her own husband was abusing her too. Susanne Hohne, the lead psychotherapist at a centre in West Berlin said, "A twisted logic, what her husband made her do ended up tainting his honour. She became the guilty party" ( The Hindu: dt January 4, 2016)

What a pity! I think females are being treated as slaves, animals or commodities!!
