Those customs are still being conducted for the women in rural villages in which only women is victimized, found guilty and men always become dominant because there is the patriarchal society in rural villages and non- availability of especial girls education and awareness, to sensitize e about the basic right of women who are innocently, maimed, tortured and punished by the Waderas, land lord.
