Dowry is a great curse in our society where many other great customs and traditions ended with time. For example the ritual of Sati, Child marriage and to some extent the practice of untouchobility Mhas come to an end but this ritual of dowry is growing more and more with time.
In earlier times this custom was such that people gave dowry to their daughters according to their status. They were given the kind of equipment they needed to build their own house. But gradually it became necessary to give dowry. Now the boy and his parents voluntarily ask for dowry and these people get married after giving dowry.
By the way, as I have written, the ritual is very old. There are many reasons way the dowry is not ending in India. The first reason is that women are considered inferior to men here. The girl's father considers himself inferior to the boy and the boy's father, if he likes someone's girl for his son, he thinks that he is doing good to the girl's father and to repay this kindness. Dowry is given for very few people realize that in the eyes of God, men and women have the same status and it is a sin to consider women less than men.
One of the reasons why women are considered inferior to men is that women have very little education. She does not understand her rights. She obeys what her in-laws tell her and considers it her duty. Another reason why the practice of dowry has not ended is that women are also financially dependent on men. Spend on income. The man earns money and manages the bread. He thinks that he is providing bread for someone else's daughter and so he asks for dowry and the girl's father is forced to give dowry.
Those who agree with the dowry think that the daughter must get a part of the father's property. By the way, these people do not have maturity in this idea. After marriage, the girl gets a new home and the boy gets a wife who takes care of his house. Both have equal needs in which they help each other. But because of dowry, women do not get the respect that men have in the society and that is why most women suffer from inferiority complex. It affects their whole life. The peace of their homes is disturbed. Nowadays, when you pick up a newspaper, you will definitely see some news in which it is written that the girl committed suicide because she was fed up with the bad behavior of her in laws. All this is due to dowry. When the boy get less dowry than expected, they harass the girl in every possible way.
Fed up with their mistreatment, many girls commit suicide. Some people burn their daughter in-laws alive and their only fault is why they did not bring more dowry with them. Ends and they are forced to deprive their children of education. That is how many minds are lost. They can be very helpful in the development of the country going forward. It has increased to the point that people who have only girl's and no boys are considered unlucky and those who have only boys. And girls are not considered lucky so you can understand how much our country and society can benefit if this ritual is abolished.
By the way, now is the time for us to take advantage of the situation and take such steadfast step so that this trouble can be got rid of forever. The only way to get rid of this is to spread education among girls, giving equal education to boys and girls. Women should be made aware of their rights and they should also be made aware of their importance in shaping and reforming the society. Give jobs to women, doing jobs for women will also reduce the dowry ritual.
