It is wedding season in India.� All over the country the booming middle class is spending a fortune on dowries - bikes, fridges, microwaves, cars and large amounts of cash - all in the attempt to find a suitable husband.� It can cost up to $100,000 for a family in India to find a groom for their daughter.�

This all happens despite the fact that it is illegal to give or receive more than $150 in dowry payments.� And it is resulting in the return of dowry crime. The aim: to get the money then get rid of the wife as soon as possible.� Demands for money often continue well into the marriage. If the family does not pay, there can be a heavy price.� Cases of newly-wed women burning to death in stove "accidents" occur daily.� Some women are forced to commit suicide by their husbands; others are simply murdered by their husband's family.�

But women are fighting back.� The producers join Delhi's female crime unit in the fight against dowry crime. The unit, which was recently given the power to make arrests, responds to calls across the city from women who feel harassed.� The Indian Government has also responded to the increasing problem by passing a law so that anyone even remotely connected to the death of a wife can be thrown in jail.� As a result, entire families can be imprisoned.� India has even built a special jail block in Delhi for mothers-in-law accused of killing their sons' wives.�

Featured prominently in the film is one case where a young doctor died a week after she moved in with her in-laws. Her parents and a leading feminist take the fight to the police. The programconfronts her husband and in-laws in an attempt to find out how she died.�
