I think the parents are to be blamed for compounding the problems for their daughters if their daughters have to be killed or die due to dowry demands not being met. one should be care ful that girls are human beings, they are not sex machines, if this is on somebody's mind then they have to be one of those animals... comeon Indian men..

Due to colonial British taxation, money became important in a previously cashless society. Families needed money just to pay tax to maintain their land and homes. Every source of money, a dowry or a son's pay from working in the British army, became vital. In any case, Britain soon took most of the land, often at gunpoint, as people could not pay their taxes. Women lost their own names when they got married and all rights to family property as per British laws. Traditionally stridhan was their inheritance and could include land. British law prohibited women from inheriting family land. Please do read Dowry Deaths by Dr V Oldenburg and Late Victorian Holocausts by Mike Davis. No dowry deaths until the Raj .
