It has become theeveryday news item, no day passes away when we don’t hear news relating todowry death or dowry harassment. The irony lies in the fact that the women inIndia are worshipped in the form of Shakti; she is burned and harassed by herin-laws every day in one part of the nation or the other. Dowry refers tomoney, gifts, goods or estate that wife brings to her husband in marriage.
