The entire Sharma family is stuck inside New Delhi's Tihar Jail -- from the grandparents down to the youngest child, aged three. This is not due to some rampant criminal gene but because a daughter-in-law has filed charges against them alleging harassment to extract dowry payments." - This is an excerpt from Times of India (Oct. 1st, 2004). Please share your views and notions here about the rampant misuse of "anti-dowry" laws by priviledged Indian women. Let the world know what some of Indian women are doing these days so that we can save a great society from its darkest of dangers.
