It highlights how this grim reality was overlooked by contemporary legal systems, offering a critical examination of societal norms and judicial responses to such acts. Through a rigorous methodological approach, it reveals the hidden aspects of family dynamics and societal pressures that contributed to this tragic phenomenon.
