BINTANG BETAWI Batavia (Jakarta) – Friday Edition, May 13, 1904
Description
Women in Different Nations
It is stated that according to the norms of all wild (uncivilized) nations, women are seen as slaves to their husbands. Some communities of the black-skinned, red skinned, yellow skinned, Tartar and Gabijl people are following this norm, although there are some differences. Young girls in the British East Indies were married to older men, sometimes over than 60 years old, and if they were widowed (many of them were divorced and widowed at a young age), they will be tortured. The luckiest among them are Persian women. They can live happily and don't have to do anything.
