Morts per dot

Les morts per dot són les morts de dones casades que són assassinades o conduïdes al suïcidi per l'assetjament continuat i la tortura per part dels seus marits i sogres en la disputa del seu dot, fent que la seva pròpia casa sigui el lloc més perillós per elles. Les morts per dot es troben predominantment a la l'Índia,^[1] Pakistan,^[2] Bangladesh,^[3] i Iran.^[4]^[5]

L'Índia, l'any 2010, publicava un informe on enregistrava el nombre més elevat de morts per dot amb un total de 8.391 morts. Aquestes dades signifiquen que hi ha 1,4 morts per cada 100.000 dones. Dels homicidis femenins enregistrats anualment a l'Índia, les morts per dot representen un 40 o 50% d'elles, tendència que s'ha mantingut estable des dels anys 1999 fins al 2016.^[6] Ajustat per a la població, Pakistan, amb 2.000 morts anuals reportades, té la taxa de mortalitat més elevada esdevenint 2.45 morts per dot per cada 100.000 dones.^[7]^[8]

La mort per dot és considerada una de les diverses categories de violència contra dones, juntament amb la violació, "eve teasing", mutilació femenina de genitals i llançar àcid.
