Dola pratha is a practice of droit du seigneur in India that pushed the new bride to spend her first night with the zamindar. The accurate period of origin of "Dola pratha" can't be ascertained due to lack of records, but it became a part of "cultural practice", and the landed classes made it their privilege, leading to sexual exploitation of the Shudra girls.
