Afganistan da ramazan’ın ilk günü Burka’lı bir kadın
çocuklarıyla Kabil sokaklarında dileniyor. Burka’nın
kıvrımlarında dolaşan hüzün ve yaşama sevinci
kararsızlığını görüyoruz.


Hindistan da erkekler evlenmek için kızın babasından
para alıyor sonra aldığı parayı az buluyor daha fazlasını
istemeye başlıyor eğer para ödenmezse gelin dövülüyor
ve yakılıyor ve hergün bu sebeple 5 kadın ölüyor. Her
yıl çocukken sünnet edilen kız bebekler 100 milyonu
aşıyor.

Translation
English

Translated by elfcan88
Target language: English

In Afghanistan, a woman wearing a Burkha is begging for money with her children, in the streets of Kabul, on the first day of Ramadan. We are seeing the hesitation between melancholy and joy of life that is strolling in the curls of Burkha.

In India, men are paid by the fathers of the girls to marry them, then they think that the money is not enough and begin to ask for more.
If the money is not paid, the bride is beaten and burned, and every single day, 5 woman die for this reason. Every year, the number of girls who are circumcised when they are babies exceeds 100 thousand.
Remarks about the translation
In the original text the last number appears as "100 million". That was obviously a mistake therefore, it was corrected to "100 thousand".

Hi elfcan,

I've made some corrections in the second paragraph, but I think the last number is wrong. It can't be 100 million a year, perhaps it's 100 thousand (100,000)

If you agree, please edit that.

Before edits:

In India, men are paid for marriage by the fathers of the girls, then they think that the money is not enough and began to ask for more, if the money is not paid, the bride is beaten and burned, and every single day, 5 woman died for this reason. Every year, the baby girls who are circumcised when they are childs, exceeds 100 million.

It is said that "100 milyon", which means 100 million, not thousand. I agree with you but I can not change the number.

Well that's obviously wrong.

Could you ask the requester in Turkish to confirm the number please?

OK, so let's wait for the requester's answer until tomorrow. If he doesn't do it we still may correct the original text.
Anyway that will be solved, I hope that doesn't get any negative vote to the whole translation.

Sorry, the requester didn't send me an answer
Should I change the translation to "100.000" ?
