What are some anti-violent strategies for dowry? How is it stopped? What organizations are helping?
who gets the dowry?
the grooms family?
marry somebody who does not demand one.
There are organizations in India that are fighting things like so called "kitchen fires"…..but they got a tough row to hoe.
And families are so desperate about dowry impoverishing them that they will abort female child. Vans(mobile abortion clinics) travel in country advertising "spend 200 rupees now…save 20,000 rupees later"
a really effed up tradition.
