Dowry turns deadliest, only condolences less regrets

Every scroll is citing a story where daughters are murdering for Gold, Lakhs of rupees, household luxuries. How can such luxuries be precious then a life. The country where daughters are considered as a ghar ki Laxmi and after getting married too Laxmi of house can be treated so brutally. The topic is old, delipidated and threadbare yet important to discuss reason being our beautiful souls are being assassinated. The cases disrupts internally mankind if humanity still survives in them. 

The numbers are alarming. And when we look closely at the data, we find that investigations into these deaths were slow and convictions were few and far between.

In the last three months, a string of dowry-related deaths have been reported from across India. In Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh, a woman died after a hot iron was pressed against parts of her body. Her family claimed that she had been regularly assaulted for dowry. Another woman from Uttar Pradesh’s Pilibhit was burned alive allegedly after she and her family did not meet the repeated demands of her husband and his family for dowry. In Chandigarh, a young bride died by suicide allegedly due to dowry harassment. In Tamil Nadu, near Ponneri, a woman died by suicide just four days after her wedding, allegedly due to harassment from her in-laws for dowry. Another woman from Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu, took her life within two months of marriage for the same reason.


These cases show that the illegal practice of seeking dowry continues to thrive in India. Every year, in the 2017-2022 period, an average of 7,000 cases of dowry deaths were reported across the country, according to the National Crime Records Bureau. It is important to note that these were only reported cases. As several more go unreported, the NCRB data only gives us a conservative estimate.

Data is sufficiently evident to depict how worsening the situation is. It is significant to note that they are numerous cases where reporting is not done even. 

Solutions are not visible offcourse because of judiciary failure but is it only judiciary shortcoming or only responsible of law to ensure the safety and security of one of the most important gender. Isn't it comes under the basis rights of living of women. How abruptly the upbringing of such man will be who is burning his own wife or killing her brutally or even forcing her to commit suicide.
