In India. Good - about time we started seeing this here:
A centuries-old tradition in Nepal of worshipping a virgin girl-child in a palace as a "living goddess" has been deemed outdated by the country's supreme court, which has ruled that the supposed deity must go to school.Incidentally, I'd also like to see the Guardian start referring to Mohammed as a "supposed prophet".

It might be bigger news if it were "A centuries-old tradition in Rome of worshipping a virgin....".
Ermm Nepal and India are separate countries...
Or better still, "God, a supposed supernatural being"...
I don't have to pay for the Guardian - it's the BBC that really needs to sort out their prophetshit.
Um... The comments are better, and more accurate, than the post.
Leaving the Nepal vs India issue alone: there is something (elusive, but inescapable) in worshiping a virgin girl. Many of us (males) pass through this painful stage, some even marry that (ex-virgin by this stage) girl.
