La dote en India: el precio invisible de un matrimonio.

Dowry in India is a deeply rooted tradition… but also a subject shrouded in silence, pressure, and realities that few outside the country truly understand. In this episode, we explore how dowry works in modern India, why it still exists in 2025, its impact on women and families, and the experiences of those within this system. We discuss economic expectations, family dynamics, arranged marriages, the social pressure on brides, real-life cases that have shaped the country, and how laws have attempted (with limited success) to prohibit this practice. If you want to understand Indian culture from the inside—without romanticizing or demonizing it—this episode is for you. Welcome to a deep, human, and honest analysis… as always on the Ney Jiménez Podcast.
