We the people ask the federal government to Call on Congress to act on an issue:

Pressure India to enforce their law enforcement & judicial system to stop the human rights violation of Dowry killings.

Created by G.F. on November 03, 2016

Innocent wives are killed for their dowry usually at the request of the husbands mother and his family. These killings are more often than not considered suicides. In most cases the brides families are unable to obtain local law enforcement to pursue the truth of the incident ; there are no financial incentives and as many police officers have noted it takes to much work to find out the truth. The dowry is never returned to the brides family and the husbands will marry again asking for another dowry.
