To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Doomed from their infancy to perpetual degrada- tion arid slavery, no wonder that Hindoo mothers consider the birth of a female child a curse, instead of a blessing.
Their early marriages, their treatment by their husbands and friends, their be- ing forbidden by their law to marry again, should they become widows, which they frequently do even in child- hood, and the deplorable state to which they are reduced in widow-hood, are certainly calculated to make them mise- rable.
A girl is married at... about eight or ten years of age, so that she is too young to form an idea of the marriage vows she is to observe in the years of maturi- OF INDIA. 65 ty. She is not acquainted with her young husband, whose future character and disposition, like her own, is conceal- ed in his childish state. The parents are the only actors in the transaction, and the poor children are united as two dumb animals in a yoke. The degra- dation of the wife is rendered deeper, by the despotic power of her husband's mother, who considers her son's wife as little better than a slave.
