Description
As she peeked through her rich and intricately woven maroon and golden veil to catch a glimpse of her husband Manoj, 18-year-old Neeta started daydreaming about the luxurious life that lay ahead of her. The first in her family to go abroad, she thought to herself: "this wedding is a dream come true." Reminisces Neeta's mother; "We thought this was a God sent match as he was well established abroad. We were happy that our daughter would lead a secure and comfortable life and enjoy all the luxuries" we lacked. The family, who hails from a remote town in Bihar was so impressed with the suave and sophisticated Manoj, that they even sold their ancestral property in the village to meet the hefty $20,000 dowry demand.
