The dowry system is driving many farmers of Maharashtra's Vidarbha region to suicide, a fact which was brought into national focus on Sunday on Satyamev Jayate, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan's popular show.
In an interview on the show, Usha Ashtekar, 25, spoke about how her father borrowed from a money-lender but had to repay the loan even before he could get Usha married.
"My father took a loan from a money-lender to get me married. But before he could do so, the money-lender made my father repay the loan by using force. Worried about my marriage plus the bad condition of our farm, he committed suicide two years back," Usha said from her village Sakra in Pandharkawada tehsil of Maharashtra's Yavatmal district.
"Later, my brother and mother took another loan and spent over Rs3 lakh on my wedding, bowing down to the needs of my in-laws. But it was all in vain as their demands kept increasing. I had to return to my mother's home in only three months as I could no longer bear their torture," she added.
Usha, who has been married for over a year, is still staying at her mother's home and prays that her husband will call her back some day.
