| Samenvatting | In 1992, the Tamil Nadu State government in India began to introduce all-women police stations whose primary role is to deal with crimes against women, including family violence and dowry disputes. Dowry giving is a customary practice in India, which often results in disputes between young wives and their new families. As a result, the young women may be subjected to physical and mental ill treatment. Using detailed data from 474 case records and interviews with 60 dowry victims, this study examines how women police stations serve as a dispute processing system, and describes the services extended by the stations to the victims of dowry disputes. |
