Santhal woman requests: Make rules more pro-woman in Santhal tradition...

Priyasheela Besra is talking to Emami Murmu in Dumka in Santhal Pargana Jharkhand who is telling her that traditional Santhal rules need to be more pro-woman. She is victim of a rule where if a family has no son then son in law is given the land rights. Emami is forced to leave her home and village for this rule and her complaint to Gram Sabha has also not helped. She requests to make rules more pro-woman.
