Depends. In Korea, women are bought in from "lower" countries so the women may or may not be respected as much as a Korean counterpart. Maybe the status of Korean women will rise but at the expense of other women?
It's interesting how these things can color your perspective of things. I saw a woman in Busan with 3 kids, two older girls and a baby boy. I wondered to myself if she would have had the other two if the first child had been a boy. It doesn't take murder to drive the imbalance. I call it "One and Done." Have the golden boy and never bother having any other children. To each their own and I can't judge them for it but I wonder how different the birthrate and gender ratio would be like in Korea if there wasn't such a preference... |

They should reverse tradition so that women command a high bride price. That way having girls would be a financial investment. |
What about parents receiving gov't financial incentives when female offspring reach adulthood (eg. at marriage or on entering university/college)? |

Two questions:
1. Is homosexuality legal in India?
2. How can I invest in a chain of brothels? |

At least as of one month ago, it would appear the answer is no.
| Quote: |
The government will not scrap a law that treats homosexuality as a crime, putting to rest a debate between the Home and Health ministries on whether homosexuality should be legalised in India.
On Friday, the Centre will oppose a petition filed by gay rights activists in the Delhi High Court seeking decriminalisation of homosexual acts between consenting adults.

Well if that's the case, I really need an answer to my second question:

From the sounds of it, in India prostitution and brothels are illegal but generally tolerated. Sort of like in Korea, I'd imagine. |
