Sold Chapter 60 Summary

Disgraced

  • When Lakshmi walks back to the train, she sees a crowd of men yelling at a girl about her own age whose head has been shaved. One man throws gravel at her.
  • Lakshmi runs over to Uncle Husband and asks what's happening, and he explains that this girl tried to run way from her husband, an old man.
  • Because Lakshmi doesn't understand, Uncle Husband explains that the shaved head indicates the girl is a disgraced woman and that "if she does run off again, no one will help her" (60.Disgraced.10).
  • Yikes.
