He couldn’t just say no at the wedding ceremony?

it is ridiculous that societal pressures like this cause such tragedies. Couples should be allowed free choice before making lifelong commitments.

No. There are many Indian nationals who visit Thailand. There are also many Indian expats.  Why shouldn't there be reporting of important social interest stories from India? Are you embarrassed by the report? If so, why not help some of India's social service organizations who have  been trying to stop the murders and abuses of the caste system.

Embarrassed?? More like couldn't care less what happens in India (or China for that matter). IMHO it makes no sense to include news from India and China in an English Phuket-based news outlet who's readers are almost exclusively NOT from China or India.

It would make more sense to create a separate section for region or world news, and dedicate the news section to things that actually relate to Thailand.
