内容摘要：Dowries are wealth transfers from the bride's family to the groom or his family at the time of marriage. Despite being illegal, dowry payments remain widespread in South Asia and often amount to several times more than a household's annual income. How do these traditional transfers impact women’s well-being after marriage? What are the effects of anti-dowry policies on women’s post-marital outcomes?
