Dowry & Inheritance
ISBN: 9781842776667 / Angielski / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

While caste restrictions on the choice of marriage partners seem to have eased, socio-economic factors have gained in significance. Dowry is also making inroads into communities that did not follow the practice traditionally.
