Slumdog Millionaire Child Artist Rubina Ali Put on Sale: Reports - myPOPKORN

This just shows that still some extremely greedy animals live in this world whose hearts are made of stone. How can a father do this to a daughter? Is he any human!!!!! Greed can cause a man to sell his daughter!! Just too shocking to believe! These bloody rascals should be kicked out of this country.

Cant blame the father much.... Its the sad state of affairs of the Indian people. Nobody helps them! And outwardly they say "India is shining". Until poverty is wiped out, "India will always be stinking"

I don't think it's true.

You see what I said about all this rubbish people came out about Slumdog being such a success and making so much money. End of the day, nothing actually changes for the people who it was meant to be about, they still live in the slums, they have just been used to make the rich, richer. The middle class feel slightly guilty for a bit and then forget about it. Such is the way of life, but the people who always need the most help, are always the ones we forget about (God, I sound left wing, shoot me now!!!)

Assuming it is true in the first place, I found what you said appalling. Being a father myself, I can tell you no matter how poverty stricken i was, I would NEVER sell a child to try and make my standard of life easier. Never. And anyone who would is a bad person.

I said "MUCH". I have seen things like this (heard about it happening in environments surrounding me). Though I would NEVER EVER do it to my child if I was in that father's situation, at that moment I felt sympathy towards that guy, thats all.

I don't feel even the slightest bit sympathy. Know why? Boyle has given them everything. He has also taken charge of Rubina's future and education. He has said that he is always ready to help the family with money- any sum of money. A part of the huge sum of money (nearly ten lakhs according to a local paper) offered by Boyle to the family is stored in a bank which Rubina will get after she turns 18. They have got EVERYTHING. If they wish they can right now buy a flat, car, and whatever a higher-middle class family has. Still, just see the father- lakhs are not enough- selling his daughter to an Arabian Seikh to become a billionaire. If you become rich in a fair way it's totally alright, but by SELLING your daughter- my God! These people just don't deserve to be fathers, no matter how much they earn- they will always want more- even if the money comes by selling his daughter.

Nobody helps them!

That works for the common slum people, but Rubina's family is a total exception. Boyle has given them everything, and is always ready to give them anything.

 

[Master Khan]

selling your daughter is probably the lowest you can go.
and its forbidden in islam anyway so I don't know whats his thinking

 

[Annoyingdevil]

[guluva]
