Dowry System : Social evil in the society.
Dowry is a horrible system that was set up which just hurts the girl in the relationship more and she continuously gets to hurt. The system itself is so backward in the sense that it reduces the value of the woman to the dowry she can bring to the family.
A lot of the time we read about the mortality rate of newly wedded girls and this is mostly because of the dowry system wherein they are constantly insulted and hurt. The girls are constantly expected to bring in more and more from their parents and this results in the killing or suicide. The dowry system is criticized by all and up till date, we haven’t seen any major changes in the system. Anti-dowry bills have been passed but nothing fruitful has been done so far. The people should understand that the law alone cannot do much but the people must get involved and society should be brought together to abolish this.
