<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

since you know more than most posters here, about bengal (you are right about this "Bad habit"), you could do well to explore the reason why this phenomena took place. ypung unmarried girls were at a risk, everywhere in muslim infested india. ending up with an old man was better than ending up in a harem. young girls were married off to young men if possible and if not, some elderly man was settled for, in preference to waiting to find out if (not when) some local muslim zamindaar set his lusty eyes on her.

a very good read in this regard is the last chapter of Nirad C Choudhury's "east is east and the west is west". extremely informative.
