If you want to stop a form of crime, you need to make its corresponding punishment as equally as gruesome and undesirable. Those who do this kind of stuff need to spend the rest of their life in prison and be denied any form of contact with their loved ones.

Very infuriating to see these kind of attacks on women. But some of these survivors did show those pathetic men as well as the world a very deep lesson in life. You disfigured them because your ego and pride cannot accept a woman can disobey you or be better than you so you try to destroy their lives and futures by doing these inhumane things to them. Some of them did die in body and spirit due to your weakness and wickedness but those that survive and can put their past behind and still live their lives with their dignity intact are telling you how much of a worm you are in life. Anyway India need to do a lot of things in this world in order to be respect by others in life. The willingness to act on laws,population issues,gender equality issues and education.

That's a shame nobody helped except the brother, maybe they could educate people where this is most common on how to help. Some advice I've heard and summarized: - If the acid is powder, brush it off - Flood the burn with water (at least 20 minutes) - try and gently remove any clothing with the substance on it - Thoroughly wash the eye if acid has gone there - Don't remove contacts, and don't allow contaminated hands or water to touch eyes - If the eye is uninjured, cover it so no contaminants get onto it
