SummaryDowry practice, women’s autonomy to use dowry (‘dowry autonomy’) and the association of these with domestic violence were examined among young married women in India. Data were taken from the ‘Youth in India: Situation and Needs Study’ carried out in six Indian states during 2006–07. A total of 13,912 women aged 15–24 years were included in the study. About three-quarters of the women reported receiving a dowry at their marriage, and about 66% reported having the ability to exercise autonomy over the use of it – ‘dowry autonomy’. Dowry given without ‘dowry autonomy’ was found to have had no protective value against young women experiencing physical domestic violence in India. While women’s participation in paid employment increased the odds of them experiencing physical domestic violence, women’s education and marrying after the age of 18 years reduced the likelihood of experiencing physical domestic violence.

Shakthi is a mobile phone application launched for spreading awareness of legal redressal procedures available for women in India. It was designed to gauge the need for legal awareness and was tested on a group of 30 young women between 18 and 25 years old. Many heinous crimes committed against women remain under-reported because of social stigma, illiteracy and lack of reporting knowledge. The application addressed topics such as what is a First Information Report (FIR) and how to file one, the redressal process for sexual harassment at work, etc. The analysis of the tests showed that the participants were keen on learning more information on women’s rights. Future programmes can help equip women with more knowledge on how to address crimes, and a more extensive app can add meaning to the technology-enhanced lives of women in developing countries.
