Dowry deaths recorded, NCRB 2024
Registered dowry deaths run from none registered in 11 states and territories to 1.78 per lakh women in Uttar Pradesh. The India figure is 0.84, from 0.91 in 2023.
Policy implication
A zero here means none were registered, not that none occurred. A higher figure can reflect easier reporting as well as more crime, so states should not be ranked on it.
