Husband, in-laws accused of torturing woman over dowry

Police say they are working to resolve dispute. Dowry-related violence continues in the Tarai despite legal bans and awareness campaigns against the gift-giving custom.

Twenty-eight-year-old Sanjita Sah, who married through a court after meeting her partner on Facebook, says she has been left “homeless and terrorised” after being subjected to violence by her husband and in-laws over dowry demands.
