Dowry Murder: The Imperial Origins of a Cultural Crime

Dowry Murder - the killing of a young bride, whose dowry has been deemed insufficient by her groom's family, has long been thought a holdover from a system of Hindu custom fundamentally misogynistic by nature. This book argues that dowry murder is not about dowry per se, nor is it rooted in an Indian culture that encourages violence against women.
