Thanks am so glad you like the story, yes sadly this is one problem which we havenot been able to eradicate as a country as yet. It is an evil and it is there is some traditions yet. I feel blessed too that I was born in a family and culture that does not practise these traditions, but my heart bleeds when I hear stories of these around me . Do read my next story on child abuse https://smitasangle.wordpress.com/2017/04/09/c-is-for-cat-a-story-on-child-abuse-atozchallenge/

It is so important for men to take a stand too against the ingrained Dowry system in India. ‘Custom’ ‘ tradition’ has been an excuse far too long, for all the wrongs in our society.
Great write!
