Dowry harassment can manifest in various forms, often starting subtly before marriage with demands for exorbitant dowries. This can escalate after marriage, taking the form of physical abuse, threats, verbal humiliation, and even social isolation. The constant pressure to fulfill unreasonable demands can leave the victim feeling trapped and vulnerable.
