Man shoots wife over dowry United Press International - October 24, 1997 05:30 %INTERNATIONAL %INDIA %DOWRY V%UPI P%UPI NEW DELHI, Oct. 24 (UPI) - An Indian man is accused of killing his wife for not bringing enough dowry into the marriage. Officials in the northern city of Allahabad say today police are looking for the man, who allegedly fled after shooting his wife to death. Police say the man beat and berated his wife for five years because her parents could not afford a lavish dowry. The United Nations says at least 5,000 Indian women who cannot bring enough money into a marriage pay with their lives. Investigators say several women die each day in kitchen fires which are actually murders passed off as accidents. Dowry is legally banned in India, but custom dictates a bride's family must shower the groom and his relatives with money and gifts to seal the contract. So oppressive is the dowry system that some poor families resort to female infanticide. Others neglect feeding their daughters and tending to their health, hoping they will die before they reach marriageable age. -- Copyright 1997 United Press International. All Rights Reserved. --
