Dowry Death In India Finalpptx
Dowry is a tradition in Indian marriages where the bride's family provides cash and gifts to the groom and his family. It began as a way to financially support women who did not work, but now often leads to extortion and violence against brides. Despite anti-dowry laws, the practice continues and thousands of women are killed each year by their in-laws over dowry disputes, usually through domestic violence or burning. Many families also abort female fetuses they cannot afford to dowry.
