Bride Burning
Bride Burning is a tragic practice primarily reported in some regions of South Asia, where a bride is murdered by her husband or in-laws, often by setting her on fire. This act is usually motivated by issues related to dowry, where the bride's family is unable to meet the financial demands of the groom's family.
The practice is considered a form of domestic violence and is illegal in many countries. Efforts to combat Bride Burning include legal reforms, public awareness campaigns, and support for women's rights organizations, aiming to protect women and promote gender equality.
