Woman Imprisoned for 15 years

Today's bizarre news story is about a woman from New Delhi, India. She was kept in a small secluded room for over fifteen years. The reason that they gave for her imprisonment was a lack of dowry. Dowry is money paid by the womens family to the husband to whom she marries.

Madhabi Das is the forty year old woman who was kept in a room for over fifteen years. The husband, in-laws, and anyone associated with this impriosonment have been arrested.

Das was sent to a mental health facility where she will bgin treatment. The imprisonment left her totally out of her mind, as expected. It is important to remember that you can't do this to your wife or any human being, it is illegal, not to mention that it is just WRONG!
