The act of settlement represents a substantial danger to the life of females. Settlement is a well-establishedpractice in Indian culture alluding to property or significant security given by one gathering to another as a thought for marriage. The cause of settlement fundamentally was the commitment of the spouse's family or without anyone else with the goal to support the spouse. This custom of settlement was begun in the archaic period. Ladies were skilled with riches what's more, gems from their folks during her marriage and this filled in as an instrument of monetary freedom for the lady of the hour even after marriage. This hazard is the underlying driver of practically all savagery against a wedded lady. Much of the time, after marriage, the issue of share will emerge. In the event that the spouse can't give all, which her significant other and parents in law request, her life in the lucky man's home becomes hopeless. She will be dealt with cold-bloodedly and at times, she may lose her life.
