Bride Burning is a form of domestic violence practised predominantly in the Indian subcontinent, whereby a woman is burnt either by her husband/in-laws on the basis of dowry demands.

There are around 2'500 cases of bride-burning per year in India.
There are 16 cases of bride-burning per month in Pakistan.

Between Bangladesh, India and Pakistan alone, yearly stats range from 4'000-25'000.

The descendants of royalty and the children of military generals, the Jatois have discovered success, wealth and happiness in abundances under the banner of aristocracy. But the family's prestige falls under threat when the Jatois' eldest daughter Sadia, dies in a fatal burning at the hands of her husband, Karam. And gradually, a never ending tirade of misfortunes attacks the family's imperial stability, testing the very reputation they have prized themselves on for decades.
