Dowry System

Dowry is a social curse that has spread all over our country, Dowry system refers to the custom, in some societies, where a wife or her family must pay money or property to her husband when they get married. The money or the property  given by bride’s father is known as dowry. This heinous system is very disgraceful for any woman of self-respect. Women are the victims of this notorious system. The whole family of the bride suffers because the parents or brothers of the bride have to arrange the money to give it to the bridegroom or to his family. Socio-economic, cultural and religious factors are main factors for this  heinous system. Some societies establishes dowry system as a social norm, and they generally accept it normally. It is very shameful that a poor husband wants to get a sum of money from his in-laws to start a business or to meet his other needs. In some societies, it is a culture to give and take dowry. But Islam strictly prohibits taking or giving dowry. The Hindu law withdraws the right of a woman on her paternal property when she gets married. For this reason, she along with her husband is not reluctant to take dowry. Due to this system, the father’s family of a bride often becomes poorer. Dowry system also demeans women. A social awareness against dowry system must be raised to stop this evil practice. The people who are conscious and respected in the society should come forward to stop it. The government should enforce strict law against this system.
