Be a girl born in Rajabazaar. Sleep on the floor beneath your parents bed, along with four or five brothers and sisters, in a shoe box of a home. Hope that you will not contract a life threatening illness, and that you will survive serious malnourishment and that it will not stunt your growth. Realize that your parents may of necessity arrange to have you illegally married at fourteen, because at that age no bride price will be needed by the groom's family. If you are unlucky, the groom may be decades older than you. Work like a drudge, have many children, and by the time you are twenty you will be worn out. By thirty you will look twenty years older. And you will remember what your parents did, and in the same circumstances perhaps be tempted to do the same in turn to your own daughters...
