‘I have been rejected by dozens of men over dowry’
A 27-year-old Indian woman has started a petition to put an end to the social evil of dowry. …
Before entering the room, she had heard her parents ask the prospective groom’s father how much dowry he expected. “We had heard that they wanted 5m to 6m rupees ($61,000 – $73,000; £48,100 – £57,000). When my father asked him, he joked that ‘if your daughter is beautiful, we’ll give you a discount’,” she says.
