India is a mess in general. It has some upsides and some downsides.
Their culture doesn't pull punches about being fat, being a single parent, etc, so that's a plus. But yeah, you also get incomprehensible outcomes like this, because they're still a classist, monogamous, legal-paternalistic society.
On balance, I wouldn't choose to live there, but I'm sure there are millions of Hindu who wouldn't choose to live here either.
And Punjab... well, they're basically Klingons. What sort of Sikh gets killed by his wife? One who didn't listen to the gurus, that's who.
IMO India is lucky to get rid of some people. First off, there are enough already. Second of all, people wanna migrate from poor countries to rich ones. India is quickly becoming a rich country. At some point, with the US and Europe getting worse and India getting better, it's not going to look so good to emigrate.
And actually Indian people really only benefit from this. As far as I know, they can return to India if they decide it's better. That's an option I don't have. There is no guarantee that any country would take me.
