How long will society continue to treat women as secondary citizens?

The episode of The Point focusses on the death of a 33-year-old woman, Twisha Sharma, in Madhya Pradesh following alleged dowry harassment and other dowry deaths. Twisha Sharma's parents requested a second autopsy in Delhi, which a local court rejected while ordering the body be preserved in deep freeze. The husband remains absconding as the mother-in-law seeks bail. This case is one of four similar deaths reported across India within five days, highlighting systemic failures in addressing domestic abuse. So, how long will society continue to treat women as secondary citizens? Watch as panellists discuss how the societal preference for male children and the devaluation of daughters fuel dowry demands and trap women in abusive marriages.
