Dowry is a real problem in India and it is a very bold move of this Indian woman, Pooja Chauhan to strip to her underwear in public to protest against this system.
Here is the quote from BBC news.
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.
Women’s groups say her case highlights the plight of women who continue to face abuse at the hands of males.
There are reports that the 22-year-old tried to set herself on fire a few days ago demanding the police take immediate action against her husband and in-laws, who she alleged had been physically torturing her for a dowry.
In an interview to a local TV channel, Pooja Chauhan justified her action saying she did it to embarrass her husband and in-laws.
And this quote from Times of India, they have posted option to debate on weather Pooja is a victim or a culprit. At the time I wrote this post, 82% agree that she is a victim and the rest didn’t.
Baseball bat in one hand, bangles in another, a 22-year-old mother stripped to her underwear and walked down the water-logged streets of small-town Rajkot to draw the attention of authorities to what she called mental and physical torture by her husband and in-laws.
EDIT: Found another photo to add in the post
1) Why she did not go to court and file a case?
2) She wants to harass her in-laws as she wants them to be arrested
without providing any evidence.
3) Why she did not file a case under PWDVA (protection of women under
domestic violence act)?
Because she wanted to harass her husband and in-laws. The motive may
be extortion of money.
