Dia Hadid

That's India's sprawling port city.

She walks in late, wearing a long black robe and a black headscarf, which throws us off.

H is Muslim, but we didn't expect her to be religious or conservative.

She laughs when we comment on it.

She lightly touches her hijab and says she's only wearing it because we're in a Muslim-majority area and she doesn't feel comfortable in jeans and a T-shirt around here.

H is one of the countless Indian women who sells her eggs to survive.

Couples who are in the market for a human egg to have a baby like how she looks.

Pale skin, thick hair, an hourglass figure, a pretty smile.

She says, I have good eggs.

H is 35.

She tells us that she started selling her eggs about five years ago after she left her husband.

It was a miserable arranged marriage.

H says her conservative Muslim family didn't let her come home.

She'd shamed them for seeking a divorce.

Without a home, she couldn't care for her two children.

She says she moved in with a man who offered her shelter.

But when he lost his job, he pestered her for rent.

H had no money and no skills.

And a girlfriend told her, you're young and you're pretty.

Sell your eggs.
