About the film

Runaway Grooms is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Ali Kazimi and released in 2005. An examination of the dowry system in India, the film explores the phenomenon of Indo-Canadian men who fraudulently return to India ostensibly seeking women to marry, but then abandon the woman and return to Canada without her as soon as they have secured possession of her dowry.
