Sometimes, the dowry hunter husbands throw acid to their wives. People throw acid to the weaker sex mainly for two reasons. One is family enmity, and the other is the rejection of love. If two families get into enmity on any issue, often one of them takes the path of savage vengeance and throws acid to the women and children of the opponent side. Similarly, if any youth is rejected in his love by the girl he loves, he also may throw acid to the girl. The victims suffer a lot as acid damages the part of the body where it falls and gives them an indescribable feeling of pain and anguish. It takes a long time to recover it. The damage is incurable.
