Faustus is in unfamiliar territory!
“A two-day-old baby girl in India has survived after being buried alive in a field by her maternal grandfather in the south of the country” (source). And, the grandfather says he could not afford keeping her! It’s beyond comprehension what poverty makes people do.
“[Indian] government figures suggest that around 10 million girls have been killed by their parents – either in the womb or immediately after birth – over the past two decades.”
