About the Book
This book offers a powerful reexamination of the history and evolution of the dowry system in India, challenging commonly held assumptions about its origins. It presents a critical analysis that traces the roots of dowry practices to historical and colonial influences, rather than purely traditional customs.
The content explores how economic, legal, and social transformations during colonial rule reshaped family structures and property relations, contributing to the rise of dowry-related issues. It also examines the serious consequences of this system, including violence and gender inequality.
Written with depth and clarity, the book combines historical research with social analysis, making it a valuable resource for readers interested in gender studies, history, and social justice. It encourages a deeper understanding of one of India’s most pressing social problems.
