''Angry Brides'' is an online flash-based browser game on Facebook. It was launched by the matchmaking site Shaadi.com to help raise awareness of dowry harassment in India. == Background == In India, dowry〔(Moneycontrol.com - Jagruti Ke Khilaf )〕 is the payment in cash or other valuable property given to a bridegroom's family along with the bride. A typical dowry may include cash and jewellery. Requests for, and payment of, dowry were prohibited under the Dowry Prohibition Act (1961) in Indian civil law and subsequently by Sections 304B and 498a of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), but the practice still continues, illegally. If a demanded payment is not made, the groom's family might harass or even kill the bride, often by setting her clothing on fire. The Indian police report that every year they receive over 2,500 reports of bride-burning.〔(Bride-burning claims hundreds in India: Practice sometimes disguised as suicide or accident ) ''CNN'', 18 August 1996.〕 The National Crime Records Bureau of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, reports that there were about 8,172 dowry death cases registered in India in 2008.〔(Figures at a Glance ) National Crime Records Bureau〕 This represents an increase of 14.4% over the 1998 level (7,146).〔(Point No.17, Dowry Deaths )〕 According to Ram Bhamidi, senior vice president of Shaadi.com, the Facebook game was developed to raise awareness of the issue.
