Abstract	This bibliometric study investigates global research progress on the dowry system to identify present conditions, collaborative patterns, and areas needing further inquiry. This study, which includes citation, co-authorship, and keyword analyses, synthesises scholarly output from the past decades with a primary focus on countries where dowry practices are highly prevalent. Results reveal a prominent body of literature centred on socio-economic drivers, impacts on women’s rights, social justice, and legislative responses. Research outputs indicate strong institutional contributions from South Asian countries but limited international collaboration. Thematic analyses show dominant clusters concerning violence, marriage, and legal frameworks, while keyword co-occurrence exposes key research gaps, such as longitudinal policy assessments, psychological effects, and rural-urban differences.
