A 23-year-old woman in Nepal was found dead yesterday at an isolated hut where she was left alone as part of a long-banned ancient Hindu practice that banishes women from the home during menstruation.
The police said that Gauri Bayak was found dead by her neighbours inside the hut on Monday. Villagers suspect that Gauri might have died of smoke suffocation from the fire she had lit to keep herself warm inside the hut.
