Shanta Basnet sends her grandson off to school as her daughter and daughter-in-law look on in the remote village of Amppipal, Nepal. Just 15 miles from the epicenter of the 2015 earthquake, the Nepali village was badly damaged.

Someone told me earlier today that Egypt had passed a law that men could have sex with dead wives, and for some reason that didn't seem to ring to true. A bit of reading up, and...yeah, not so much.
