Lucy Ash investigates the human cost of India's s dowry system. Illegal for more than 40 years, it continues to flourish while the price of a groom has soared. It can now be as high as £100,000 and demands for money don't stop at the wedding- they often continue well into the marriage - and it the family can't find the cash, the wife is often subject to domestic violence. Yet not everybody is willing to go along with tradition. Ash meets India's new and unlikely heroine, Nisha Sharma , who recently called off her wedding at the llth hour after her groom demanded an extra$25,000 in dowry payment. Producer Giselle Portenier
