Dowry System Paragraph: Dowry means property or money brought by a bride to her husband when they marry. Usually in our society female. children are considered inferior to male children. They are thought to be of no use to the family. So, during the marriage ceremony, a section of greedy people claim much wealth or money from the guardians of the brides.
The poor and illiterate girls mainly become victims of dowry. If the guardians fail to fulfill the demand of their bridegroom, they misbehave with their wives and sometimes torture them seriously.
As a result, many of them get divorced or commit suicide or are killed by their husbands. This system has affected our whole society. At present, a father cannot think of the marriage of his daughter without giving dowry to the bridegroom.
I am dead against this evil system of society. This evil system should be uprooted from society immediately. This social curse can be eliminated by changing the outlook of the people especially the male members of the society and by taking strict legal measures against the persons who take dowry.
