00:00The day a daughter is born, at least the financial purpose of the father's life is decided.
00:07Cast in stone.
00:08Now I have a daughter.
00:09So all I am doing is saving for her wedding.
00:13And if he by chance happens to have three girls, think of his predicament.
00:17And now do you see that this fat wedding business is also directly related to female infanticide
00:24and foeticide?
00:25Because if a daughter is born, you'll have to arrange that kind of wedding and dowry.
00:29And you already have two daughters.
00:30And your means do not permit you that kind of expenditure the third time over.
00:36So the moment you know that a third girl is about to arrive, you kill her in the foetus,
00:41in the womb.
00:42We are very cultured people.
00:44Weddings are occasions that demonstrate our great culture.
00:47Look at the music, look at the clothes, look at the food.
00:50So we are beasts with culture.
00:52What good is this culture if it cannot help you transcend your beast?
