What to do
72. • Dowries
may be in
the form of
Goods
(clothing or
jewelry)
Assets
(livestock,
land, or cash)
Dowry is a gift from the bride’s family to
the groom’s family on marriage
73.
74. Dowry being a crime is still prevalent in India because many
people are of the notion that their daughters will not be
harassed after the marriage. Bride-burning is a form of
domestic violence, a category of dowry death, which occurs
when a young woman is murdered by her husband or his
family at her family's refusal to pay additional dowry.
78. Laws under the Indian Penal Code
(IPC)
Dowry Prohibition Act: any property or valuable
(direct or indirect) given before, at or after the
marriage
Section 304B: Death of a woman within 7 years of
her marriage
Section 498A: When husband or his family subjects
woman to cruelty (“intentional” behavior that
causes serious injury or harassment for dowry)
Section 376: Rape law
Section 294: Obscene acts and songs
Section 354: Intent to outrage a woman’s modesty
84. Gender Discrimination in INDIAPreference of male child
over female child is one of
the main reason that
contributes to promotion
of gender discrimination.
Sex ratio in India is 940
women per 1000 men.
Especially in backward
areas women are still
being exploited and even
killed.
85. Causes Increasing number of
rape cases and sexual
harassment against
women all over the
country has given
strength to gender
discrimination
against women.
86. CausesWomen still do not
have the right to
own the parental
property inspite of
the fact that
constitution
provides them this
right.
89. Female Foeticide
• Pre-natal sex-determination
was banned in India in 1994,
under the Pre-conception and
Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques
(Prohibition of Sex Selection)
Act.
• But there are still instances of
killing of female child before
birth especially in rural areas of
the country.

Gandhi or Bachendri Pal. So, why kill girls?
