Molesalam in India

The Molesalam live in the state of Gujarat. They speak, read and write in Gujarati, and their primary profession is as farmers. A community council judges their disagreements. The Molesalam prefer cousin marriages. They don't allow for divorce and remarriage. After the death of the father, daughters get some of the inheritance, but not as much as sons.

Pray for Molesalam families to receive them with open hearts.
