If a woman's husband died and she had no close male relatives her only
real option was to beg. Such women were often beaten robbed and raped.

How do you know they were robbed and raped ?

Some reporters got in by dressing up like local women to hide the
equipment. Their report was very chilling. Unfortunatley, I can't
remember the news orginization for sure. I think it was the Christian
Science Monitor.

Seeing as the Christians have an axe to grind with Moslems and ITV / BBC / UK
Channel 4 news don't, I'll respect my original sources.
