Every Society has its own norms and values. They pass to the new generation slowly. Some norms and values are very useful for the new generations but some are very bad. They draw the society backwards rather than forwards.
We have some superstitious beliefs. It is thought that if a persons is going somewhere and sees an empty vessel; his journey will not be successful. In the same way, if someone sees a widow on the way while going some where , it is thought to be bad luck. While someone is going out and sees a black smith. It is also taken as a misfortune. But a tailor is taken as a fortune.
A more serious case is that, in the western region of Nepal , the girls are not allowed to enter the houses in their menstruation period. They are believed to be the untouchables. If she touches males during this period it is regarded as a sin.
In the same way , it is thought that the girls should be married before they are twelve. What will be the future of the girls, who are married at the age of twelve?
So it is too late to change our thinking . Let's become human. Let's live and let others live as human. it will show our civilization.
