After female foeticide and child sexual abuse, it’s dowry. The third episode of Satyamev Jayate, hosted by the Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, dealt with fighting and speaking up against this social
injustice that women all over India tolerate on a regular basis.

The episode shown focused that not only in rural india, dowry is prevalent in urban India as well. The show featured three females who had undergone torture due to non-payment of dowry to their greedy in-laws. The episode started with Komal from Delhi, who was bombarded with demands and pumped for money throughout her marriage, had been abandoned by her husband and was half dead in a foreign country before help finally came.

Then it also showed a woman from Jalandhar named Paramjeet kaur's husband took 15 lakhs from her on pretext of studies and went to Australia and now he didnt returned and is demanding more money and divorce too and that too online.

The show even included an inspirational story, that of Mumbai’s Rani Tripathi. Belonging to a middle class family, Rani, against all odds fought for what was right and took control of her own life. Instead of giving in to the ever increasing demands from the groom’s side she, along with her family, staged a full blown sting operation and exposed her potential groom to the media.itted suicide giving in to the pressures by her husband and in-laws.

The final message was: the laws are in place, now it is up to the men and women of the country to find their voice, speak up, do the right thing and say no to dowry.
