They married two years ago but after they broke up Shiv, 23, kept asking for a luxury dowry from her family, namely £1,800 and a motorbike.

He carried on harassing her when she moved to live with her parents in Lakhimpur Kheri, in northern India.

Raj said: "My husband and in-laws tortured me for a dowry since the moment we were married.

"They asked for a huge amount and a luxury motorbike , which my family could never afford.

"They used to physically attack me and they wouldn’t stop reminding me of it.

"‘When they stopped me doing my studies I returned home. I refused to go back with him, as I would have missed out on my studies.

"But this is what he did when I refused to return with him."
