Dowry verdict

Sir, — The Delhi High Court let Indian women down when it said that they were "misusing" the anti-dowry provisions. Such a case of misuse must be one in a million. The court should make an in-depth study of who really misuses the power and why, instead of passing an order that would drastically affect a majority of women.
