    That I am less upset about. Kids were a net profit in that time period. For a woman passed the point where she can just get married, with presumably her dowry being depleted, having a kid with the brother meant that she would have a hand in the whole not starving thing.

    I won’t judge people that poor for making hard decisions. Just be glad that no one reading this lives in a world like that.
