<!--QuoteBegin-Husky+Jun 29 2008, 12:44 PM-->QUOTE(Husky @ Jun 29 2008, 12:44 PM)<!--QuoteEBegin-->An article on Hindu women by Koenraad Elst mentioned dowry. He wrote how traditionally the practise was centred around the bride getting her inheritance/her security upfront, like Bharatvarsh also highlighted above. I searched VOI for the topic but I'm getting no results, which is surprising. If any one remembers which one I am talking about, I will be grateful for them to tell me.[right][snapback]83529[/snapback][/right]<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->It is this one: http://koenraadelst.voi.org/articles/dutch/sati.htm
my search on English words failed because it is in Dutch.
I will try to translate the paras on dowry when I get the time.
