New Delhi: "Please take me home"... Trapped in abusive marriages and allegedly taunted for not bringing in enough dowry, that was perhaps the sentiment if not the words that echoed hollow in the last days of three young women found dead in their marital homes this month.
Because Twisha Sharma in Bhopal, Deepika Nagar in Noida and Palak Ranjan in Gwalior never could go back to the safety of their parental homes. Their deaths clouded in allegations of dowry demands, their parents grieving and in despair.
