“Indian Community Asks Divorce Law

Srnagar, India, June 18 (U.P.) – The Kashmiri Pandit community is up in arms for a divorce act, the first Hindu community to declare in favor of divorce. It took an act of savagery to bring this about.
A resident of the community, graduate of an Indian university became so enraged at his wife when she refused him money that he destroyed her eyes. The act so enraged the populace that a demonstration of more than 4,000 persons was organized in protest and to urge a divorce act.”
