Piękny film. Rację ma Suri – co było to już było. Liczy się to, co udało się uratować, co trwa i inspiruje.

Lots of tears in my eyes with the stoy

So the upper caste would not do their own dirty work and used coercion to force the lower caste to commit murder. What does that tell you about the upper caste and the caste system of India?

This was one of the main evils plaguing arab lands which the islamic law was sent to fight burying of baby girls alive.. islam also destroys the evil tradition of dowry.. and instead requires the groom to pay the dowry as a mehr, a gift to the girl/woman in marriage.. but its still shocking that still the evil traditions prevail

What did the men do after finding the goddess alone?

@AliValentine143 February 23, 2025 - 6:42 am

I hope they all learn equality as the women can go to school or start businesses and never need to marry. They can adopt babies. With a shortage of woman soon men will have to pay.

How utterly heartbreaking

@sagethearies2 February 23, 2025 - 6:42 am

All you men give us hope. You have had mercy on her. She could have died. Thanks to you men. You are blessed. 🙏❤️

@dreamtoreality9892 February 23, 2025 - 6:42 am

How dare you call yourself a midwife , you are a murderer.

@denisehaley9271 February 23, 2025 - 6:42 am

I cant even imagine being a midwife in a place where you're told to take an innocent life.
God gives us the most precious gifts, how can that be seen as a burden simply because of its gender?
We are ALL valuable and contribute to lifes riches in different ways.
Siro's soul cried so desperately when she saw Monica ❤ it was a healing that she needed.

@denisehaley9271 February 23, 2025 - 6:42 am

Monica has such a kind, beautiful and, loving soul ❤❤

TY;
THAT WAS AMAZING!!!

@helixmoore7636 February 23, 2025 - 6:42 am

This happens when men dont value women. Men in India better wake up.

@lindasanderlin4444 February 23, 2025 - 6:42 am

God bless you beautiful young lady. I am so happy you are able to have a beautiful life because the midwife protected you. I pray for all those poor babies who died. Does this still happen today? In 2025? If so that is so very sad.

@chakrekatia4909 February 23, 2025 - 6:42 am

Lots of love and respect for the journalist.

@Micaduduu February 23, 2025 - 6:42 am
