India's Dowry Deaths: Burnt Alive, Tortured, Starved; Why The Law Fails To Protect Women

Описание: This report details a series of horrifying dowry-related cases across India, including the alleged murder of Nikki Bhatti, and incidents in Jodhpur, Madhya Pradesh, and Telangana where women were reportedly burnt, tortured, or starved by their husbands and in-laws. The discussion explores why conviction rates remain low despite laws like Section 498A and the Dowry Prohibition Act. Supreme Court Senior Advocate Karuna Nandi explains the societal complexities, where parents give dowry out of compulsion. She states, "you're marrying your child to criminals, or you yourself are consenting sometimes to marry to criminals." The program investigates the legal difficulties for victims when giving dowry is also a crime, how the practice is disguised as 'gifts' among the educated, and the pervasive societal silence that enables this violence.
