Dowry murders in India no longer spark public anger or debate, study finds

The alarming trend of dowry-related murders in India, which claim thousands of women's lives annually, shows a troubling decline in public outrage and political discussion, despite the practice being officially banned since 1961. This shift signifies a broader societal complacency towards a critical issue that has historically been a flashpoint for activism and reform. The fading public and political engagement could signal deeper issues in enforcement and societal attitudes, highlighting the need for renewed focus and action to combat this persistent menace.
