“What?” is my first reaction when I read the title of this article titled, “Police raid human trafficking ring suspected of selling pregnant women for £15,000 each and forcing them to have babies with sham marriage husbands”. To clarify, a pregnant woman was sold and forced into fake marriage. The woman was 25 weeks pregnant when she was taken to a man. He tricked her, making her believe that he was her sister’s friend. She thought she was going to see her sister in the UK. When the arrangements were finalized, she was sold to an Asian family and forced to marry SOMEONE SHE DIDN’T KNOW! The man in charge was paid around £15,000 for arranging the marriage. Can you believe it? I’m stunned.
Why is human society getting worse and worse? Right now, in our society, are we living in a fantasy or is it just a bunch of nightmares? I feel really terrible for the woman in this article. My feelings might not be completely conveyed to you readers, but as one human living on the same Earth, I’m confused, terrified, and shocked. How can a human being treat another human being this way? “Inhumane” is the word I would describe those who are in charge of this. Wild animals take care of each other despite not having a complex brain. But we humans, having the ability to reason, chose to not take care of the same species.
Not to mention, that woman is PREGNANT! She’s frail and she’s weak. In that state, people chose to take advantage of her freedom. Is this right? Taking freedom away from weak people for their own benefit is not right. How would you feel if you were put into that position? Do you want to marry someone you don’t even know? Do you want to be sold for 15,000 pounds? Do other people have the right to judge how much you’re worth? A person’s life is worth infinity, we cannot set a price for a human’s life. We must think how other feel before we act.
Every human has rights. We must not “force” anyone into doing anything they don’t want to. Forcing someone to do something means that we don’t acknowledge their “rights” and presence, because every human deserves to have a choice.
Good one! It's quite shocking that this is real. I've heard of people selling people before, but a pregnant women? EWW! Anyway, thank you for sharing this.
