Abstract

Indian constitution provides the right to equality to all the people of India including women. In spite of this, during her whole life violence in different forms is inflicted on her and she suffers gender discrimination. The violence and heinous crimes against women occur within the four walls of the homes and at other places. There are so many crimes which are related to women and dowry is one of them. The Dowry system is an evil which is deeply and widely rooted in the minds and desires of many people. It is prevalent in almost every section of society and all parts of the country.
