How widespread is the dowry system amongst Muslims and Christians in India ? I am trying to figure out if dowry is something that is unique to India or Hinduism. Is there any good website where I can find out the occurence of dowry in the minority communities of India ?

I could not find much information online and most of the websites appear to be biased or just blocked in India. There were some muslim websites that looked like propaganda that mentioned dowry was unislamic, and then went on to talk about *mehr*. Christian websites also had some propaganda saying womens rights amongst hindus was v.poor.
