Go and sell or auction your wife if you can't build toilet for her: Aurangabad DM Kanwal Tanuj

New Delhi: Giving rise to a controversy, Aurangabad District Magistrate (DM) Kanwal Tanuj has said that those who cannot build a toilet for their wives, should sell them. Tanuj was addressing a public gathering on a cleanliness drive in Jamhore village of the Aurangabad district of Bihar. "Due to lack of toilets, women get raped and harassed. Only Rs. 12,000 is needed for the construction of the toilet. Is Rs 12,000 more than anyone's wife's dignity?," Tanuj said and added, "Who can let her wife get raped in return of Rs. 12000?" "If this is your mentality then go and sell your wife. Those who cannot build toilet should sell or auction his wife," DM said.
