A still from Martyrs of Marriage showing a man holding a banner during a protest march

Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj's documentary, Martyrs of Marriage attempts to explore the other side of the controversial dowry law that was passed under Section 498 A of Indian Penal Code. Her film explores first-hand accounts of those who have suffered owing to the abuse of this law. Bhardwaj's core message is to make society realise that men can be victims too.
