    It is very complicated and dangerous trend. Why we marry off our daughters to non-locals. when we do it, people alien to our culture take it for granted and attack on our culture taking advantage of our docility. Its time we take precautionary measures to protect our cultural values instead of waiting for such incidents and holding protest demonstration in the streets.
