Dowry deaths are the deaths of young women in primarily India who are murdered or driven to suicide by continuous harassment and torture by husbands and in-laws in an effort to extort an increased dowry. Dowry death is considered one of the many categories of violence against women in India, alongside bride burning, Eve teasing, and acid throwing.
