| 'Abused' Australian invokes Indian dowry law Hi all, In this case, a 'scam/annoyance' in Australia. Reported in a reputable newspaper in Melbourne, the Age. http://www.theage.com.au/articles/20...036900847.html !!  Not to make light of her plight, but I'm a little disbelieving of her gullibility. I wonder if she's travelled in India? |

| "I loved him and kept hoping that if I gave him what he asked for, he would change..." "They hinted at something about him, about his past record and his criminal background and I went 'Oh gosh', but I still didn't quite grasp what they meant," she said." she has bigger problems than that husband.....

Whereas one would not expect this woman to have grown up in a family which taught her to be docile and submissive (err... not traits I associate with Australian ladies of any hair colour) it is not so rare to be conned. | |

| I married a girl from India in 2000 and we now live in New South Wales. I told her at the time that I expected a dowry of 3 goats, a cycle rickshaw and 500 Rupees; 7 years later I'm still waiting. It's lucky I read this article, or I might have kept on hassling her.

| I married a woman in India in 2005. I'm still waiting for the colour TV and the cow. Now I find that her son is getting married, and his new wife is not going to come and live with us and be our unpaid servant 24 hours a day. Oh! The Disappointment! |
