Outline India partnered with academicians from the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Toronto and the University of Chicago to undertake a study on dowry trends among migrant, married men and its relationship to education patterns and property rights over the dowry. This study was undertaken in various commercial locations in Delhi/NCR. 

Outline India was involved in descriptive data collection on education and dowry trends across 5 different educational groups among male, married migrants.

Along with these, Outline India also undertook the responsibilities of piloting the survey tool, coding and translating the tools, recruiting and training field workers, data collection, data cleaning and management.
