A newlywed woman in a village in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh has won her struggle to have a toilet at her husband's home.

Anita Narre left husband Shivram's home two days after her marriage in May last year because the house had no toilet.

She returned eight days later after Shivram, a daily wage worker, built one with savings and aid from villagers.


"It is not nice for women to go outside to defecate. That's why every home should have a toilet. Those who don't should make sure there is one," Mrs Narre told the BBC.

There are no sewer system in almost all of India. Like Guyana, outdoor toilet is one means for human to defecate. Indoor, flushed toilet are drained into septic tanks in city areas. Then you have the last resort to use the dark areas of railroads and hidden corners to do your business. Though, we get a few laughs, it's a serious problem for Indians altogether. The population is too large and the government is doing little or nothing to combat the situation. India in real life is very stink in certain areas that overshadowed the beauty of the country itself.
