Hi HN,I've created a simple, non-commercial web tool called the Dahej (Dowry) Calculator.Growing up hearing stories within my community about the immense pressure and financial ruin caused by the dowry system in India, I wanted to find a way to talk about this difficult topic. Direct confrontation often shuts down dialogue, so I chose satire as a way to approach it.The calculator is intentionally absurd; it generates a monetary 'worth' based on real-world (and often ugly) factors like profession, salary, and even caste. The goal isn't to be accurate, but to be a conversation starter. It's an educational tool designed to hold up a mirror to a practice that treats marriage like a transaction.T

As a business in show hn launch, I built a satirical Dowry Calculator to highlight a harmful tradition is listed here with the public details available about it.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
