The issue of dowry continues to result in horrific violence against women across India. This report details four recent cases, including the murder of Nikki Bhatti, and other incidents in Jodhpur, Madhya Pradesh, and Telangana where women were allegedly burnt, tortured with a heated knife, or starved to death by husbands and in-laws over dowry demands. Supreme Court Senior Advocate Karuna Nandi explains the systemic failures, noting that parents who give dowry are often acting out of compulsion, stating, "you are giving like a ransom in the hope that your child is going to be kept safe." The discussion addresses the abysmally low conviction rates despite laws like Section 498A, the legal complication where giving dowry is also a crime, and how the practice is disguised as ‘gifts’ among the educated elite. #justiceforwomen #dowrydeath #violenceagainstwomen #itwebvideos #dowry #stopdowry #enddomesticviolence #india #crime #indianlaw #498a #womensrights #patriarchy #socialevil #nikkibhatti
