Three Months of Captivity for Dowry
Even after more than six decades of independence, the story of 21-year-old Ujjwala highlights the harsh reality of dowry-related abuse. She was allegedly tortured by her husband and in-laws and forced to live in a shed meant for domestic animals.
The episode follows Ujjwala’s ordeal after her husband and brother-in-law allegedly held her captive in an animal godown. According to the case, she was later sold to a wealthy landlord in another village for ₹50,000.
Ujjwala’s mother-in-law and husband reportedly began demanding a motorcycle, a color television, and a tractor from her family after witnessing the lavish wedding arrangements and dowry received during her brother’s marriage.
