A 19-year-old woman, Manya Vivekananda Doddamani, died after being attacked by her father and his supporters in Dharwad district, Karnataka, on December 21, 2025. The attack occurred because she had married a man from a lower caste, which her family considered dishonorable. The couple had married in May and faced opposition, relocating temporarily before returning to her native village. Manya's father and five others are in custody, with police searching for additional accused. Two police personnel and a development officer have been suspended for negligence. The incident highlights ongoing issues of caste-based violence in the region.
