REVOLVING DOWRY

Should Mise Eire enable a culture too take root, in this event Sikhism that promotes forced marriage on young girls. The example given in this article on Sikh women in England namely Southall London and Slough gives us a clue to a bleak future for these females. Click here
Elsewhere on the blog we can read of family killings of Sikh girls who want to live free from this very restrictive religion based on reincarnation.
A sign of the times we live in and an example given that Ireland should consider from the town of
Herouxville, north-east of Montreal. Its council published the new rules on the town's website.



"We wish to inform these new arrivals that the way of life which they abandoned when they left their countries of origin cannot be recreated here," the declaration reads.
"We consider it completely outside norms to... kill women by stoning them in public, burning them alive, burning them with acid, circumcising them etc.
It points out that women are allowed to drive, vote, dance and own their own homes.
The rules ban Sikh children from carrying ceremonial daggers to school, even though the Supreme Court has ruled they can.
The man behind the declaration, councillor Andre Drouin, told the National Post newspaper the rules were not racist.
"We invite people from all nationalities, all languages, all sexual orientations, whatever, to come live with us, but we want them to know ahead of time how we live," he said.
Mr Drouin said there had been a number of recent incidents of culture clashes that meant the new rules were needed.
