It examines the historical articulation between traditional cultural texts and modern statutory law to understand how daughters are valued, and how dowry as a custom defines this value. The author creates a conceptual link between modern, medieval, and ancient marriage rites that formulate and embed dowry behaviour and practice within Indian society. The book also provides a critique of the cultural textual tradition of India and South Asia. It asserts for the first time, that Vedic materialism is at the core of an adequate understanding of how dowry as wealth comes to occupy such a central position in the field of marriage. An important study into the custom and tradition of South Asia, this book will be indispensable for students and researchers of cultural studies, women's studies, gender studies, religion, history, law, and South Asian studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Dowry $z India. 650 0 $a Marriage $z India. 650 0 $a Marriage customs and rites $z India. 651 0 $a India $x Social life and customs. 650 7 $a Dowry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00897264 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Marriage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01010443 650 7 $a Marriage customs and rites. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01010592 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 776 08 $i Online version: $a Arya-Bhattacharya, Anwesha. $t Dowry and daughters $b 1. $d New York, NY : Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2023 $z 9780429285202 $w (DLC) 2022049235 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240717013832.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=17C5551E440211EF98CC15ED37ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
