[Buddha-l] Being in Love

[jkirk]

In the Buddha's time, if  someone wanted to get rid of a woman (wife, widow,
concubine, female peon), he/they just kicked her out on the street and that
was it. In many parts of India this tendency continues up to the present
day, but the middle class is making moves on it.

author of "Spouse: The Truth about Marriage" and one of India's most widely
read social chroniclers. Dé, herself divorced and remarried years ago,
described the new ethos as "unthinkable to an earlier generation."
