Hm. This is kind of a delicate area. On one hand the idea of a dowry is distasteful to us in the 21st century, on the other hand calling it “slavery” is akin to calling Muslim purdah, the female wearing of the hijab, a form of persecution, so you risk looking culturally insensitive or even racist. You also risk watering down the whole notion of slavery-- I don’t think betrothed Roma women are “property” under the law or even under Rom cultural norms; I imagine if a wife was mistreated the husband would be hearing from his in-laws, and/or feeling their fists on his skull.
