印度某村庄禁职女性穿牛仔 T 恤 Young women in a village in India have been banned from wearing jeans and T-sh irts because elders say they encourage rape. 印度一座村庄的年轻女性被禁止穿牛仔裤和 T 恤，因为村中的长者说这种衣服会鼓励强 奸。 Lawmakers in Khedar, in t he Hisar region of northwest India, implemented the ban as part of a raft of measures designed to reduc e sex attacks in the area. Alcohol has also been outlawed while throwing a 'DJ party' will now carry a fi ne of 11,000 rupees. K hedar village patriarch Sarpanch Shamsher Singh told the Times of India: 'We have decided to ban alcohol as it is the main reason behind rapes. We have also banned jeans and T -shirts for girl students as it is not a proper dress.' But while the decree（法令，判决） may prove unpopular among young people in the town, it has been welcomed by older members of the village. Shanti Devi, a middle-aged woman present at the panchayat, said: 'The decision of the panchayat is good and will check the harassment of girls. Poor dressing is the main reason behind rapes.'
