This makes me so angry. Women are indistinguishable pieces of property

The bride's family would likely have been expecting a dowry,
Wtf! Poor reporting! It's the poor bride's family that pays eyewatering amounts in dowry.

Wasn't the best man historically there as a substitute for the groom in British weddings should something go wrong...

Shocking- but not particularly surprising.
IF it was an arranged marriage, then it would all have been on the reputation of the family. So a sister is probably considered "just as good" for the purpose.
Disgusting, though.

Of course I was aware FFS. Am I not allowed to be angry about a particularly shitty example of the genre, or must I handwave it on?

Were you not already aware that marriage is treated as a business transaction in India? Doesn’t surprise me in the least
