Count me as her supporter against India's dowry customs! Excerpts from from BBC:
A woman in western India has stripped to her underwear in public to protest over alleged abuses from her husband's family for not providing a dowry.
Her in-laws were questioned by the police and have been released on bail.
The Hindu woman shocked residents of the normally conservative city of Rajkot in Gujarat state, by her half-naked parade through the street.
Women's groups say her case highlights the plight of women who continue to face abuse at the hands of males.
There are reports that the 22-year-old tried to set herself on fire a few days ago demanding the police take immediate action against her husband and in-laws, who she alleged had been physically torturing her for a dowry.
In an interview to a local TV channel, Pooja Chauhan justified her action saying she did it to embarrass her husband and in-laws.
