The dowry system expects payment from brides' families and can continue demanding payment after marriage. Sati was an obsolete Hindu practice where widows committed suicide after their husband's death. The caste system categorized people by occupation which later became hereditary. Poverty, gender inequality, and alcoholism also continue to pose major social challenges.

Key concepts include distinguishing between biological sex and socio-cultural gender roles and ideologies that legitimize inequality and lead to gender oppression.
