While a few weeks ago a man stole his wife’s kidney because her family wouldn’t pay him her dowry, it is again reported that a woman from the country’s Uttar Pradesh state Krishna Sen spent the last four years posing as a man posed as a man for the sole purpose of deceiving women into marrying her and collecting dowry.
In the stated years, Krishna who had always been a bit of a tomboy had deceived successfully married two women whom she harassed for bride price.
It was in 2013 that she decided to exploit from her life of a tomboy by taking a male persona on social media which made it easy for her to approach women in hopes of starting a romantic relationship with them. Krishna took to dressing like men. She had her hair cut and in place of her name, she picked Sweety Sen. Thanks to all these she was able to get two women to marry her and soon afterward she began harassing their families for dowry.
