KATHMANDU, Dec 3 - A Nepali village will give cash rewards to women who refuse to be isolated in illegal 'menstrual huts' during their periods, an official said on Tuesday after the custom led to another death.
Outrage led to a parliamentary investigation into the centuries-old Hindu practice of"chhaupadi", outlawed in 2005, after a teenage girl and a mother and her young sons died in two similar incidents earlier this year. The chairman of Purbichowki village municipality in Doti district - on the western border of Achham district where the latest victim died - said he will reward women who reject chhaupadi with 5,000 Nepali rupees .
