Some Bad Customs Key Notes:

The Nepali syllabus for Class 10 covers the topic of “Some Bad Customs” in the Social Studies chapter. This topic includes several harmful practices, including ghumto pratha, deuki pratha, jhuma pratha, chhaupadi pratha, and dowry system. Here are some key notes on each of these practices:

Ghumto Pratha:

• Ghumto pratha refers to the practice of isolating women from the rest of the family during menstruation.
• Women are often forced to stay in a separate room or a makeshift hut during their periods, and are not allowed to touch other family members or household items.
• This practice can have negative effects on women’s physical and mental health, including increased risk of infection and social isolation.

Deuki Pratha:

• Deuki pratha is a practice in which young girls are dedicated to the local temple as religious servants.
• These girls, known as deukis, are often exploited and abused by temple authorities and devotees, and are denied access to education and other opportunities.
• This practice has been banned by the government, but it still persists in some parts of the country.

Jhuma Pratha:

• Jhuma pratha is a practice in which young girls are sold into marriage to wealthy men, often for the purpose of financial gain.
• These girls are often forced to live with their husbands’ families, where they may be subjected to abuse and exploitation.
• This practice has been banned by the government, but it still persists in some parts of the country.

Chhaupadi Pratha:

• Chhaupadi pratha refers to the practice of isolating women and girls during menstruation and after childbirth.
• Women are often forced to stay in a separate hut or cowshed during this time, and are not allowed to touch other family members or household items.
• This practice can have serious negative effects on women’s health, including increased risk of infection and even death from exposure to the elements.

Dowry System (Daijo Pratha):

• The dowry system, also known as daijo pratha, is a practice in which the bride’s family is expected to provide gifts or money to the groom’s family at the time of marriage.
• This practice can put a significant financial burden on the bride’s family, and can lead to harassment, abuse, and even dowry-related violence.
• The dowry system has been banned by the government, but it still persists in some parts of the country.

Measures to Address These Bad Customs:

• Legal action against those who perpetrate or promote these practices
• Education and awareness programs to promote understanding and respect for human rights and gender equality
• Economic empowerment programs for women and marginalized communities to promote their independence and well-being
• Community-based interventions to promote social norms that are supportive of human rights and gender equality.
