"6,450 Women Burnt Alive for Dowry in India" | Abha Singh Exposes the Truth!

In this powerful episode, social activist and lawyer Abha Singh dives deep into some of the most pressing issues facing women in India today — from dowry deaths to kitchen fire cover-ups, from the misuse and need for laws like 498A, to the cultural pressures created by social media and extravagant weddings.

💔 Did you know? According to NCRB, over 6,450 dowry deaths were reported in 2022 — that’s nearly one woman every hour. Abha Singh breaks down these shocking numbers, revealing how many of these cases are disguised as “kitchen accidents” and why the system continues to fail women.

🔥 Key Takeaways from this conversation:
• Why India still witnesses thousands of dowry-linked deaths each year.
• How laws like 498A were designed to protect women — and why debates about “misuse” shouldn’t overshadow the reality.
• The role of social media, show-off weddings, and loans in fueling dowry demands and financial pressure.
• Why women’s education and empowerment directly reduce dowry-related violence.

This is not just a podcast — it’s a wake-up call.
If you care about women’s rights, gender equality, and justice in India, this is a conversation you cannot miss.
