New York Times by James Brooke

Nisha Sharma, who rejected her groom's dowry demands and had him arrested, has become India's new overnight sensation.

According to the bride's family, the dowry of two televisions, two home theater sets, two refrigerators, two air-conditioners and one car was considered to be too cheap by the groom's family. With the wedding about to start, the groom's family wanted an additional $25,000 in rupees, now, under the wedding tent. A fight between the families erupted and Nisha put her foot down by calling the police and calling off the wedding.

Sounds like the makings for a blockbuster movie. I say, "You go girl!"
