Man gambles his daughter away

by **Hairless Kitten II** » Sun Sep 20, 2009 11:10 pm

In an extraordinary near-rerun of the Mahabharata, a gambler staked his 18-year-old daughter — as Yudhisthir did with wife Draupadi in the epic — after losing everything he had in a game of cards.

The incident occurred in Satgharia village under English bazar police station on Wednesday. Locals said Ismail, who is in his late 30s, lost all his money to Mustafa Sheik from the neighbouring village of Sultanpur.

A desperate Ismail said he would continue playing and staked his daughter. As luck would have it, Mustafa beat him again and walked away with the protesting girl, a class XI student.

Witnesses informed the village and the panchayat and a group of people went to Sultanpur, the next day to bring the girl home.

On hearing the story, Ismail’s angry father, Naimuddin, threw him out of the house. Ismail’s wife said she was worried about her daughter’s future. Malda police said they were investigating the incident.

Panchayat member Saidur Rahaman said Ismail was “a known gambler...But this time he crossed all limits.” Hooch addiction and gambling have long been a problem in villages in the area.

(Any one else notice the "Stop Gambling Ad"?)

I remember my father trying taking me to the hospital of my birth when I was 8 and telling them that he was unsatisfied with the finished product and would like to return it....

I guess it'd be a bad idea to go double or nothing, then?

btw... what's a "class XI student"?

What do you expect? This is a country where poor mothers still poison their infant daughters by putting poison on their nipples before the baby nurses. All to keep from paying a dowry.

I would of normally been like "HA! why would you do that when clearly the girls family would snatch her off you before you can legitimately finish watching love me if you dare"

but then I read that they went the next day. what the fuck man.

Not so. Many Asian countries have a skewed male to female ratio because of aborting female fetuses or infanticide. Female infanticide has been a problem in India for a long time. Along with dowry killings.

I really wished that there was a GamCare and good social welfare policies for India so people did not have to go into desperate measures.

Shiek is really Zelda, so no, because Zelda is not bald. Or handicapped, for that matter. Or a dude.
