Dowry Deaths in India: A Modern Curse of Greed and Patriarchy

Dowry Deaths in India: A Modern Curse of Greed and Patriarchy

In India, some women are hurt or even killed because their families can't pay money or gifts (dowry) to their husband's family.

It's like they're being treated as objects to be bought, not as people to be loved.

This has caused many deaths over the years.

Some families want more and more, like cars or fancy trips.

This problem is seen in all religions, all classes, and castes.

To stop this, people need to speak out against it, raise boys to respect women, and stop seeing marriage as a deal about money.

Instead, it should be about love and respect.
