00:00You understand the emphasis on virginity in India?

00:04Girls actually go and get their hymen artificially stitched, surgically stitched before the wedding

00:13so that the husband feels she is a virgin.

00:17I am her sole owner.

00:20She is the body and I am the consumer of the body.

00:24She can account for 95% of the global cosmetics market.

00:30You see where the whole thing is coming from?

00:33Every square millimeter of the body has to be accounted for.

00:41There is something for the lower nose, then the bridge, then the insides of the nose.

00:49There is something for the bottom 10% of every strand of your hair, then something for the

00:58middle portion of the hair, then something for the final portion of the hair and that

01:05has been accepted.

01:06I am saying kindly break the deal.

01:09The deal is you remain the body, I will remain the consumer of the body and I will pay you

01:14for that.

01:17What kind of dignity is there in this deal?

01:20Your body is for the consumption of the husband.

01:23Simple thing.

01:26No complexities.

01:28In treating her as the body, the man too becomes the body and that invites suffering for entire

01:34humanity.

01:35Why don't we see this?
