Legal sex trade and polygamy

 

Legal sex trade and polygamy

 

The most bizarre thing about Bangladesh is that it implements polygamy. Men can have unlimited wives, but they have to pay taxes. Another weird thing is the legalization of sex trafficking in this country.

Old Lavani told Agudumba: Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, and it is also one of the least developed countries. In Bangladesh, the custom of "polygamy" is still maintained. A man can marry multiple women.

However, with the reform of the system in recent years, monogamy has gradually become more popular, but polygamy still exists because most people in Bangladesh believe in Islam, and polygamy is allowed in Islam. .

But polygamy is not as beautiful as imagined. In Bangladesh, polygamy also needs to pay taxes. The first wife is exempt from tax. Every time you marry a wife, you will have to add 10,000 taka in taxes. If you marry a second wife, You have to pay 20,000 yuan, and you have to pay 30,000 yuan to marry a third wife, and so on. Many local men can only choose monogamy because they cannot afford the high taxes.

Lavani said: In rural areas of Bangladesh, polygamy is very common because in rural areas, they can avoid taxes. It is not unusual for a man to have three wives in his daily life. Some local wealthy people have even married countless wives. Being able to marry a wealthy man is the dream of many girls because they can enjoy a carefree life without doing anything.

When the old man Lavani accompanied Agudemba to visit the countryside of Bangladesh, he said:

In the Tangail region of Bangladesh, there is a village called Kandapara. This small village is very famous in the entire international community. The reason why it is famous is not because of any celebrities or major historical events, but because it is the oldest and largest brothel in Bangladesh.

In Bangladesh, where sex trade is legal, it has existed for nearly two hundred years, so it is also known as the "hundred-year brothel" and "female hell."

Every day, a large group of girls wearing tight and revealing dresses stand in front of the tin houses on both sides of the road, wearing heavy makeup and posing to attract customers.

Almost all the prostitutes here have the same fate. They were forcibly trafficked, forcibly matured when they were young, and then received customers. Of course, although they live here alone, they also yearn to be loved, so they will find their "husbands" in various ways to fill the emptiness in their hearts. The so-called partner may be a pimp or someone from the past. benefactor.

Agudumba is very strange: Why is sex trade legal in Bangladesh and polygamy is allowed?

Old Lavani said:

This starts with how Bangladesh was established. Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India were once British colonies, collectively known as British India. After being squeezed by the British for nearly two hundred years, the locals have made many attempts at independence, placing a heavy governance burden on the British. Britain's national strength was severely weakened by World War II. The United States and the Soviet Union were trying every means to dismember its colonies. Britain had no choice but to prepare to allow British India to become independent.

Britain proposed the Mountbatten Plan, in which each colonial state chose to join the newly formed India or the newly established Pakistan according to their religious beliefs. At this time, Bangladesh chose to become part of Pakistan, known as East Pakistan.

Such a plan not only forcibly divides the country, but also sows the seeds of conflict. India and Pakistan have deep conflicts, and East Pakistan and West Pakistan also have conflicts.

India and Pakistan have fought many wars. After Pakistan was defeated in 1971, it was dismembered by India. East Pakistan became independent, which is now Bangladesh, and a young country was born.

Old Lavani said to Agudengba:

Looking back at the birth process of Bangladesh, peaceful independence can avoid the destruction of life, but it also means the lack of revolutionary baptism, and some old orders have not been broken.

After independence, there is indeed no need to consider conflicts with Pakistan, but relying on external forces to achieve independence makes the new government's capabilities questionable. Under a weak government and a Western-style democratic system, it is difficult to solve both historical and new social problems, such as the huge number of prostitutes in the country. For some reasons, there were certain villages in our country where villagers were heavily involved in certain criminal activities, so much so that these villages were called drug trafficking villages, begging villages, and fraud villages. Have you ever heard of a prostitute village? There is one in Bangladesh, where there are many large-scale brothels, even in the form of villages. Kandapara village is one of the prostitute villages. What is surprising is that it has existed for nearly two hundred years and there is still no possibility of its demise.

Old Lavani sang a feminist song "Broken Spring Dream":

 

Women should have autonomy over sex

If you want to be happy, you have to control it yourself

A perfect man never approaches lightly

Playboy plays with women a lot

People who turn things upside down cannot be trusted

Such men should be despised

No matter how charming he is

Don't ever get crazy again

 

Virginity is pure in the eyes of men

Instead of a virgin being insulted

This is an amplified discrimination

Nowadays, remarriage has become a common practice

Don't let the broken spring dream

Hiding in the corner and crying

When sexual desire and money are linked

True love will disappear

 

You don’t want to live by looking at people’s faces

I don’t want to be trapped in a cocoon all my life

Then step out and rely on yourself

Let yourself transform into a butterfly

Sing a song about bad men

I have everything you want

All I ask is one thing

Show me some respect when you go home
