Father claims in-laws started demanding dowry after marriage
Sharma's father Navnidhi Sharma told NDTV, "Look, in today's time, dowry is such a word that people demand in various ways without using it. They create a situation in which money is taken out of your pocket. No one says 'give me dowry.'" "After Twisha lost her job, their taunts started: 'How will we feed you?' All these things came out." Days before her death, Sharma reportedly told her mother she felt "badly trapped" and wanted to return home.
