IdontWantDowry.com is India's first matrimonial website for dowry-free marriages.[1][2] The website was launched on April 2, 2006 by Nalini Chidambaram, a senior high court advocate in Chennai. Despite being outlawed in 1961, the dowry system has continued to survive in some social castes. IDontWantDowry.com attempts to create a meeting place for brides and grooms who want to marry without a dowry. As of 2017, IdontWantDowry.com has more than 5,500 members,[3] and 29 couples have married through the website.[citation needed]
