September 23, 2009Man Loses Daughter in Card Game
In a story that is both dreadful and difficult to believe, news reports from India say a local man in Bengal gave his own daughter away in a card game. Gambling is illegal in India but according to the reports it still thrives among the country's poorer citizens (a situation that is perhaps not entirely unlike our American lottery system). Apparently the father, using the term loosely, had lost all his money, and went in on an double-or-nothing bet of sorts by putting up his daughter. Obviously he lost that bet as well, and the other man dragged the young girl away against her will, so the story goes. The reports I saw about this were low on details, and it's difficult to believe a man would really put up his daughter in a card game, but I suppose it could be true. If so, I hope the Indian authorities are on point in tracking her down and finding a good home for her, which would probably not be with either of these gambling men.

The rate of pooverty and immorality are on a great increase that we need divine intervention to put this on hold. Posted by: Pastor Henry at September 23, 2009 5:51 AM Pastor Henry, pooverty huh? yeah, you should get the girl,(not!)Devine intervention?if you look deeper into it,this is devine intervention,this kind of crap has been going on for hundreds if not thousands of years, now we are hearing about it,so now something can hopefully be done about it. Posted by: Dee at September 23, 2009 8:24 AM Justice demands that we realise the way we distribute our burdens and benefits in society (read natural justice) that calls for fair hearing).Yet, individual freedoms MUST be respected ( talk of Universal declaration of Human Rights. let india followup those gamblers and keep us posted on thier fate. Justice must Prevail to the 18 YEAR old. Posted by: Abesigire alex at September 23, 2009 8:41 AM Poverty ahs one letter "o"; Divine is with an "i" not an "e". She is 18 years old. It wasn't USA. Here she could be legally married, a mother, in prison, quit school, divorced, vote, enlist, go to college, and think on your own. I do not like the trafficing the fater was performing; but let their laws handle it. You need to worry about sexual abusers in the western USA that kidnap and rape an 11 year year for 18 years. Posted by: David at September 23, 2009 11:58 AM David - If you are going to correct someone about their spelling, maybe you should check your own posting? Pastor Henry - Why should you get custody of the 18 yr daughter over her family? The news reports state that her family kicked the father out of the house because of this. Obviously, that shows the family cares about her. Posted by: James at September 23, 2009 1:23 PM This kind of garbage makes me sick - women treated as property. If it isn't an Indian using his daughter as a gambling debt, it's an Iraqi killing his daughter because she looked at the wrong man, or an African father selling his daughter (or son) into slavery. The problems cited may not be wide spread, but they're culture-based and acceptable to many. The modern west has all kinds of problems of its own to clean up, true, but I'll take those any day over backwards, medieval, unenlightened acts like these which still plague much of the world. Posted by: Nick at September 23, 2009 2:35 PM AMEN Nick!! preach on... Posted by: susan at September 23, 2009 2:56 PM i think it is a shame that a father will do this to his own flesh and blood. Posted by: sahar at September 23, 2009 3:34 PM Why should this surprise anyone, in a country where parents can't or will not work, have no qualms about prostituting their daughters as young as ten? The girls actually feel obligated to "do their part" by earning their keep in this way. Posted by: moon at September 23, 2009 3:52 PM Just plain sickness parenting is all that is.. the love was obviously not coming from that so called father....just sickening.. Posted by: happytobehere at September 23, 2009 4:09 PM It not only happens in the third world, but also here in the Big USA where the young kids are kidnapped for prostitution. This Western world is sick where people like John Phillips can have sex with their own daughter not once but for ten years, I am sure there are many such cases like this across US that are not reported. So stop throwing stones at other people , look at yourself first.

Posted by: Johndoe at September 24, 2009 2:36 AM Just FYI, the "LITTLE GIRL" was 18 which is quite old for indian culture and shocking that she was not already "sold" to be married. Posted by: hmmmm at September 24, 2009 4:15 PM So because she's 18 it makes it okay? What country do you live in?
