The problem of escalating dowry demands and related post-marriage atrocities on wives at matrimonial homes in contemporary Bengal has become a matter of serious concern for us. As violence or death inflicted upon wives in our society is systematic and structural, such incidences are reported to the police at the last resort. The logic of ‘better reportage’ and ‘false reporting’ in recent times therefore cannot explain the rise in such crime against women in Bengal. Even though there are complex economic, legal, political and social dimensions to the issue, the real problem it seems is the perceived internalized and socially reinforced ideology of the inferiority of women. This paper tries to analyse field data on the gravity, causes and consequences of dowry in rural Bengal.
