Girls (women) belong to the house!!!!!!

Isn't public education free? How can they not afford schooling for two? If they need help with clothing and food and supplies, there are various charities that would help them. This is the most backwards thing that parents can do to their daughter. Gender has nothing to do with success. What if the daughter decides NOT to marry? What if she marries an abusive man and needs to get away? Wouldn't it be nice if she had an education to fall back and her own means to make it on her own? I hope she is smart enough to know better than what her parents are teaching her, and since she decided to leave I am assuming she is. What these parents are doing is creating another possible uneducated female that my have rely on welfare for years in order just to make it. I am glad you are helping take care of. Hopefully she can finish her education!

Definitely not! People were created equal, no matter to which race, color, and definitely geneder they belong to. The parents, I believe, were just influenced by the ancient scheme of a patriarchal society that was promoted by the Catholic Church. At this point in time, I believe that women have proved their worth in various fields in the society. Thus, there is definitely no reason to treat them as inferior to men. As for the girl, I believe that she has to prove her worth to her family. She should dream big and do everything (that's moral and right) in order to make her parents and the society see that women do have the right to a good education, and moreover- to equal treatment.

I don't think this is right to show favoritism no matter the gender. Sad that they felt they needed to do that to her. You did a good thing by taking her in.

We are in the technological era, everyone has equal right including the animals. So parents be more reasonable.

girls now a days want to get freedom as muchas like mens and it is obvious that someone like parents,husband want to stop her than she dosen't like that freedom is necessary in this days for girls not stop in house boundries

I can believe of that I am reading,the girl shoul study.So what she will marry one day but she does not have to be without education.

I think it's really sad that throughout the world people are forced to take their children out of schooling for financial reasons. It is also really sad that less girls are schooled that boys. I don't think you can blame the parents, it's just the way that society is wherever they live, if girls usually grow up to just be housewives then while I think it's terribly sad it's not the fault of the parents. But I have a lot of respect for the girl for running away and fighting for her right to education. Its great that took care of her.

I do feel that women can combine their work together with their house hold chores if they sta at hom they will be bord and just grow fat

No, nowadays both girls and boys should have the same rights. It's just not right to say a woman cant do as much as a man. We're all equal.

i think that it is not the ture.... women or girls doesn't belong to only house...

Oh I have to add my cooments here. No way should a parent tell a girl that. In todays world so many men get women pregnant and then dissappear. If a girl has no education she wont be able to work to support that child and the tax payers end up paying for it. But even if that situation doen't accure she still has ALL the same rights as a boy, education included. I would not send that girl back to them. I would show her the right way to live and tell her parents to join us in the 21st century.... GEE I can not believe people still think this way.

If the parents cant afford schooling of their children they should at least explain it to them in a nice way. Its much easier for their kids to understand their situation and one of them will surely give way to one another. The parents did a terrible thing to their kids, it wont solve their problem, it just became worst. If ever i am in that situation I will explain to my kids why we cant support their schooling and ask them if its ok if one of them will stop and let the other one finish first.

Justifiable or not is a little too difficult to judge for us I think. But I definitely don't agree that the boys rights are anyway more or less than the girl. For all you know the girl could use her education to work or earn some extra money after she has been married out & her new family is having it's own financial problems. In the situation the parents were probably they had to find a reason & this was probably the best they could find. Otherwise there is nothing to support their stand or decision I feel. Great job you did bringing up the girl.

I understand hard times. I do not however believe that gives them the right to make her miss out on her education. I would starve myself and the dog to make sure ALL my kids got an education.

I don't think I can really judge the situation. As far as she will marry and stay at home, that could be something for their culture they strongly believe I don;t know. I don't think boys should have more rights then a girl in any situation.

back in the old days, it was the set up families that women should not go to school because eventually they would end up mothers who would take care of the kids. but in todays world, it should no longer be the set up. Women should have the right to have education. To earn some degree or even just short courses. I think is is right to learn something for yourself. Even if you ecide to be a stay at home mom in the future, at least you can teach your kids or even help them regarding schooling.

its all their thought that boy has the right more than the girl.

No the boy has no more of a right than the daughter. Her life is destined to be hard and not happy from that moment on. She has been taught that she is worth nothing more than a simple servant to some man somewhere. Now if she finished school and decided to stay home and care for her family and husband that is her decision, and she has that choice and right. but she should be allowed just as much opportunity to better her life as her brother. My husbands brother in Mexico has just been faced with the same decision. His 5 children are in a private school and this is quite expensive over there, so he has decided to take the one girl child out of school an let her help her mom at home and learn to be a housewife, and Mom. This little girl has dreams of finishing school and attending a University somewhere. Those dreams are now gone and she is destined to marry young and live the way her mother does. In Mexico womem are oppressed and expected to serve their husbands no questions asked. This is not in all Mexican families, but the more traditional ones it is.I had to break my husband in early. His family just thinks I am the crazy white girl from the U.S...lol We already have our 6 year old in a pre paid college program, and she will become whatecer she choses to become. We stress to her the inportance of education, and being happy in her life.

No, I don't think there descision was justifiable. I think they should have not had two children if they could not afford to support them both. I do not see why they could not have homeschooled one or both of the children, maybe spent the money on a tutor that could teach BOTH of thier children? I think that they still had other options and they did a huge disservice to there daughter, implying that she is of lesser value than her brother.

No it was wrong on the parents part to treat her like this. It show gender discrimination which is a offence.I do agree when there is financial problem it difficult to manage but there are charitable schools where they can send both the kids.Education is of prime importance.
