Definición

  • In South Asia, “bride burning” refers to the murder of a newly married woman by her husband or in-laws over what they regard as her inadequate dowry. Reports of bride burnings, also called “dowry murders,” began in India in the 1970s, and incidents have increased over the last three decades.
