Nepalese women have been telling their husbands working overseas to abstain from sex with other women so they will not contract sexually transmitted diseases.
However, in case their husbands cannot control their sexual urges, women in Pang village in the Midwestern mountains of Nepal, have been sending their partners with condoms via mail. Their motto was, if you can't control it, at least be safe.
The practice started when social workers began counseling women in the remote village and educated them about sexually transmitted diseases. The program started two years ago.
Laxmi Sunar, a housewife from the village said, "As I learned that unsafe relations make a person vulnerable to HIV, I sent a condom along with the letters to my husband."
Other women from the village have been writing their husbands and asking their partners not to engage in sex with other women. However, all the mail were accompanied with condoms, just in case.
Over three million Nepalese were deployed in foreign countries working in construction to support their family back in Nepal.
