There should be flying squads to handle any incidents like this and many other injustice happening. Thy should take complaints and solve it.

Unfortunately population s too high and its very difficult to handle every corner of the country.

However, the challenge is not just the size of the population or the vastness of the country. The bigger concern is accountability. If the agencies entrusted with protecting victims become influenced by power, money, or political connections, then even the best systems can fail.That is what has happened in Twisha's case, the influential Sasu tried every way to save herself and her criminal son!! Many people feel that influential individuals are often able to use their status and resources to delay investigations, influence narratives, or avoid scrutiny, while ordinary victims struggle to have their voices heard.

Cases that generate public discussion often reinforce the need for impartial investigations and due process, so that facts are established fairly and no individual can escape accountability through influence or connections.

Wouldn't be the first step to eliminate the cultural excuse and replace it by terms that openly denunciate the human flaws when sticking to the concept of dowry?

Would the future groom and his family like to pose as openly declared greedy, selfish, looking for a cheap housemaid etc? Would the brides parents not be able to tell the other party: we are not so desperate to pay y o u for marrying our daughter ... if you don't want to treat her as the now leading lady in the house then look for someone y o u have to pay for.

However, t h a t would only eliminate the dowry, not how women are treated in the husband's family. There is really a lot of grassroot-work to do...and t h a t is doable (especially on grass-root level).
