An Indian woman breastfeeding an orphaned calf.

[greatsequence]

An Indian woman believes she is pleasing the gods by breastfeeding an orphaned calf.

Couthi Bai, from the village of Kilchu in the northern state of Rajasthan, allows the 46-day-old cow to suckle up to four times a day.

"After her mother died, I held her in my arms and breastfed her," The Sun reported Ms Bai as saying.

"She was so young when the cow died. For me, there is no difference between a calf and an infant.

"The gods will be pleased if I raise her."



Ms Bai adopted the calf as her own when its mother died three days after giving birth.

Residents in the village, where cows are regarded as sacred, are supportive of her bond with the calf.

"It's the first time this has happened in our village," one was quoted as saying.

"Like our mother brought us up by feeding us her milk, similarly, she is nourishing the calf with her milk."

The calf has taken naturally to drinking Ms Bai's milk, though its diet is supplemented with water, grass and chapatis (flatbread).

Saudi women use ‘breastfeed the driver’ fatwa in driving bid
Saudi women use ‘breastfeed the driver’ fatwa in driving bid

Saudi women plan to turn a controversial fatwa (religious ruling) to their advantage and launch a campaign to achieve their long-standing demand to drive in this conservative kingdom.

If the demand is not met, the women threatened to follow through the fatwa which allows them to breastfeed their drivers and turn them into their sons.

The campaign will be launched under the slogan: “We either be allowed to drive or breastfeed foreigners,” a journalist told Gulf News.

Amal Zahid said that their decision follows a fatwa issued by a renowned scholar which said that Saudi women can breastfeed their foreign drivers for them to become their sons.
As every Saudi family needs a driver, our campaign will focus on women’s right to drive,” she said.

The controversial fatwa, which was regarded as both funny and weird, issued recently by Shaikh Abdul Mohsin Bin Nasser Al Obaikan, member of Saudi Council of Senior Scholars and adviser to the king, has sparked a debate in society.

The renowned scholar said Saudi women can breastfeed their foreign drivers for them to be become their sons and brothers to their daughters.

Kind effort by that lady
