320. I saw a documentary on this. They do this....and it is a sad

situation, as pointed out in the documentary. Even the mothers don't want to do that. But with the number of children allowed being capped at two, and with working farms, and with girl children needing dowries to get married which they can't afford, they sadly feel they have no choice.

It is not a situation that the U.S. wants to emulate, I'm sure.
