Women in Nilokheri, India are including one very important requirement for marriage; an indoor toilet. It is not a cheap proposition. Almost half of India's 1.2 billion population lack this basic amenity.
What is most ironic is the Indus Kush Valley Civilization which covered parts of India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, had citywide sewers and plumbing 2500 years ago. A very advanced urban center, it was very similar to modern plumbing humans use today, including water pumped into homes that drained out to nearby bodies of water. Undiscovered until the early 20th century there is still much about the Indus Valley Civilization that remains unknown, to humans anyway.
