Indian groom quits wedding midway for lack of dowry - Yahoo! News: "Although the demanding and giving of a dowry was officially banned in 1961, the practice continues.

Every year, about 6,000 women are killed in India -- often doused with kerosene and set on fire in staged kitchen 'accidents' -- or harassed into suicide by husbands and in-laws angered by unmet dowry demands."
