Answer:
Precisely when we start thinking that incidents of dowry death are slowly decreasing in India, a high profile case pops up in the media to dismantle our thoughts. Recently a 24 year old was allegedly burnt alive by her husband and in-laws for not fulfilling their demand for Rs. 10 lakhs. According to the brother of the deceased woman, since the marriage in 2012, the husband’s family had been making continuous dowry demands from them and finally when there was a default in pay-up, they resorted to bride burning.
Before the Constitution came into being, women hardly had any proprietary rights. At that point, sending off their daughter with dowry was a way of giving some financial support to her. Initially, what started as a matter of affection and love for their daughter morphed into a right demanded by the husband and his relatives.
