Dowry Darlings is a short music video exploring the intergenerational trauma embedded within South Asian marriages and how it's evolving in newer marriages today; a cycle of silence, sacrifice, and survival passed down through women. Framed through the female gaze, the film reimagines traditional rituals of beauty and adornment as acts of quiet rebellion. It depicts the way newer generations learn to design their own relationships and find solidarity within systems that contain them. It questions the dowry system and the romanticisation of suffering, envisioning a world where women help each other unlearn obedience and reauthor their own narratives of love, loss, and liberation.
