This is a fictional satellite.

Dowry is a satirical concept created for Deceit, an art project about the patterns of manipulation in institutional technology. There is no real dating product behind this page.

Calculates the appropriate dowry based on the bride's formation score, her family's faith heritage, and her "domestic productivity index." the dowry is the score. the score is the bride. the bride is the data. "a woman is bound as long as her husband lives." the app has the verse. the app has her value. the value is the dowry. the dowry is the app.

If this project brings up something difficult, step away from the screen and contact someone you trust. In the US, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. For urgent danger, call 911. deceit.world/help has more real resources.
