Women in Nepal village urge fidelity but mail condoms to husbands overseas

1 day ago

KATHMANDU, Nepal - Women in a Nepal mountain village have been mailing condoms to their husbands working overseas to protect them from sexually transmitted diseases, a Nepalese newspaper reported Tuesday.

The Kantipur newspaper reported that the women in the village of Pang began writing the letters after social workers counselled them about sexually transmitted diseases.

Although the women urged their husbands to remain faithful, many were also enclosing condoms just in case, it said.

"As I learned that unsafe relations make a person vulnerable to HIV, I sent a condom along with the letters to my husband," one of the village wives, Laxmi Sunar, told the newspaper.

An estimated three million people from impoverished Nepal work overseas, most as manual labourers, and send money home to support their families

So, my question,

to men: would you send condoms to your wives in Nepal while you are abroad so that she can practice safe sex while you are away - "just in case"?

and

to women: would you do what these Nepalese women did?
