520 _a The custom of dowry is deeply rooted in Indian society, and dowry crimes occur all over the country. While the number of dowry deaths has remained almost stable during the 21st century, the incidents of violation of the Dowry Prohibition Act have increased gradually. Uttar Pradesh and Bihar emerge as the hotspots of dowry deaths in India, and the majority of districts having higher numbers of dowry deaths are located in these two states, apart from some north Indian metropolitan cities. The high number of dowry cases pending in the courts also highlights the inefficiency of the judiciary and the delay in justice. –Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2025/13/special-articles/spatio-temporal-analysis-dowry-crimes-india.html
