Another dowry issue: This gal has spunk!
Indian woman strips in dowry row.
A woman in western India has stripped to her underwear in public to protest over alleged abuses from her husband's family for not providing a dowry. Her in-laws were questioned by the police and have been released on bail.
The Hindu woman shocked residents of the normally conservative city of Rajkot in Gujarat state, by her half-naked parade through the street.
More about the dowry: It's been illegal in India for more than 40 years but continues unabated. 7000 women are killed EVERY YEAR by their spouses and inlaws because of dowry problems. (and those are only the ones they catch!)
