Nepal widows dismiss marriage incentive

BBC News, Kathmandu
Widows in Nepal are protesting against a decision by the Nepalese government to offer a cash incentive to men for marrying them.
The
incentive was announced in the government's annual budget earlier this
week - it is a lump sum of 50,000 Nepali rupees ($641).
