More winning?

Runaways are the majority of 200 housed in a women's prison.  If you run away from home, you will probably be raped before you are put in jail.  Then, if you are well off, you go to prison.   Those not as well off, will be returned home again ...some facing possible honor killings by being stoned, stabbed, or beheaded.   Many young women, girls in their teens,or often younger, commit suicide.   some burn themselves, but survive ...being relegated to Cinderella existences (but life is not a fairytale, so no happy ending), while their husband remarries ...perhaps another untainted innocent teenage girl.   For the burn victim, this is often the better existence.  Though often, the burn victims are not suicidal, but burned by the husband ...or other family members who join in on the horrific crimes, without proper testimony to hold them accountable, of course.
