“Some women mock me and say I should give my husband a condom too, but he refuses to use it and believes children are God’s gift,” said Kumari, 32, who secretly terminated her sixth pregnancy. “One day, I suggested he undergo a vasectomy, but he abused me and said I was a witch, as no wife would ever take away her husband’s manhood.”

Kumari can also testify directly to the inadequacy of Azad’s concept of television as a libido reducer.

“I have a small TV in my home. My husband watches some shows in the evening, but we have sex at least three times a week,” she said.
