Answer:
Explanation:
Dowry deaths are deaths of married women who are murdered or driven to suicide by continuous harassment and torture by their husbands and in-laws over a dispute about their dowry, making the women's homes the most dangerous place for them to be. Dowry deaths are found predominantly in India,[1] Pakistan,[2] Bangladesh,[3] and Iran.[4][5] India reports the highest total number of dowry deaths with 8,391 such deaths reported in 2010, meaning there are 1.4 deaths per 100,000 women. Female dowry deaths account for 40 to 50 percent of all female homicides recorded annually in India, representing a stable trend over the period 1999 to 2016.[6] Adjusted for population, Pakistan, with 2,000 reported such deaths per year, has the highest rate of dowry death at 2.45 per 100,000 women.[7][8]
Hola, friends ☺️
: Dowry death refers to the death of a woman due to the demand of the dowry by the bridegroom family . the woman may commit suicide , may be beaten till death or burnt.
❍ The Dowry Deaths is the reason of discrimination against women since they undermine the equality of women and create culturally accepted forms of discrimination against them. They can affect the life of a girl from the very start. Preference for boys often begins with the parental realisation that the burden of finding dowries falls on them as soon as the child is born. Thus, the devaluation of a child takes place in culturally subtle forms from the very beginning. This continues throughout their early years and up to the time of marriage.
Hope this answers your question,
