I think the bad spelling is a cultural thing where Indians pretend to be stupid so no one sees them as a threat. This is a holdover from the British occupation where they violently suppressed anyone who tried to stand up against them. It's also why Indians tend to neither nod or shake their heads when asked a question by a higher-class foreigner but rather bob their head from side-to-side so it's not perceived that they said a definitive yes or no.

They probably think some dangerous white police man is monitoring the facebook comments so they make their comments seem as silly as possible so they can pass it off as a joke if the mythical white man goes after them for wanting to sex the girls.

Lol is this like in Afghanistan where the idea is you pay the husband's family to take over the burden of having another worthless female around?

That actually is the reason. There isn't as much work to do in nomadic societies compared to agricultural ones, so men end up doing all of the productive work while the women just take care of the house/kids. So the dowry is paid to the husband's family because the husband is going to be doing all the work and supporting his wife. It's the opposite in agricultural societies where women can work the land just like men, so the husband's family pays the wife's family because the wife's family will be losing a productive worker.

Some of the "normal" sex jargon used in Western nations would sound funny to non-Westerners, like calling yourself an "rear end man". It would probably be interpreted as calling yourself a "donkey man".

What's the regular english equivalent of "do the needful"? I'm guessing the arabic equivalent is "inshallah".
