“Tied in Chains/Dowry Death”

Dowry's Deadly PriceBy Rajashekar Murthy PolojuIn a world where tradition often overshadows humanity, Dowry's Deadly Price tells the heart-wrenching true story of Aaradhya-a young woman full of hope, silenced by cruelty. After marrying into what seemed like a promising future, Aaradhya found herself trapped in a cycle of emotional, physical, and financial abuse. Pressured for an ever-increasing dowry and tormented by her husband and in-laws, her cries for help were met with silence.
Until one day, that silence became permanent. This powerful narrative is not just about one woman's tragedy. It's about the thousands who suffer in silence, the families left in pieces, and the urgent need to break the cycle of dowry-based violence. Dowry's Deadly Price is both a memorial and a movement-a story that demands to be heard, remembered, and acted upon.
