well, declaring someone a "whore" can actually get the evil doers help from police and from the anti-female females too... the lady so declared can get beaten and tortured by the "oh so decent folk"... and then have her property stolen.
but this lady was too old for that declaration.
the "village elders" would have actually gotten of her land in the end, but psychiatric hospitals exist in india so that families can declare a member bipolar/psychotic and dispose of them for property and other reasons.
In India you cannot drive a person off their property for being a Whore. Prostitution is legal in India.
Besides village whores are quite well known in their districts and the next ....... so its quite to impossible to declare just anyone a whore.
She did not have any family, which is why this happened to her in the first place. These are called crimes of opportunity.
