According to a report, on an average, more than 8,000 deaths of women each year are due to the dowry system. Women are often murdered by husbands or in-laws when families are unhappy with dowries. There are many reports of women committing suicides due to humiliation and harassment related to dowry gifts.
The rapacity has led to horrific deaths of thousands of women all over the country as they've not been able to meet the in-laws’ ever-increasing demands.
Dowry is often given in the hope of getting a better groom. This practice is not limited to well-to-do families. In fact, poorer sections of society follow the custom to make sure they get better grooms and push their families into debt.
The demands, ranging from buffaloes to motorcycles, are openly communicated in spite of the practice being a crime as people are not concerned about the law. Receiving gifts from the brides' people is an obligation that forces many into debt for the rest of their lives.
Often, women face harassment and persecution in their new 'homes' after marriage because of dowry. Ultimately, many either ends their lives or are murdered by in-laws. There have been multiple reports of hanging, poisoning and 'bride burning'.
