Marriage practices in India are well-known to the Western world, however, in the article by Serena Nanda, she discusses all types of marriages practiced within the country. How involved family members, particularly the parents are involved with their children getting married, arranged marriage, and the long process of finding a suitable spouse for their child — many factors are considered in this process.

The article on missing girls by Michelle Goldberg documented the trends and results of skewed sex rations, with a focus on India, and segues into China and South Korea.

Goldberg also induced some historical context and interviews with women and women’s groups. The article read at many times like a story, an impactful and very dense one.

The “Bride Price” was a moving short film by Stephanie Sinclair about child brides in Afghanistan, Ethiopia and India; the film was spliced with moving and highly evocative photographs of child brides and their husbands/families. The video was photo driven, but had interviews of these young child brides/wives and their experiences, and hardships faced by being so young and a wife/mother. One of the young wives set herself on fire because she broke the family television and was afraid of the repercussions. Child brides in a old tradition that should be ended.
