Dowry custom has been a curse for India. Now it passes a challenge which seems difficult to
meet It has proved to be a greatest curse for the poor classes of India. The birth of a girl is said
to cost to the degree of Rs, 200,000 or above for the parents. Originally parents of the bride
would give their daughters presents, ornaments and other necessary articles of daily use. These
things were meant to contribute, according to their status to a happy family life. By and by the
pockets of the parents of the bridegroom. In due course of time demand for the dowry became
most essential condition of the marriage settlement. The demand in cash which depends upon
the merit of the boy and the status of the family became a
terror for the society Middle class people became main target of
the attack. The devil of dowry has put an end to the happiness
of several couples even after marriage. Though India has a host
of problems to tackle today, yet the biggest which the country
is facing, is dowry. Dowry, in fact has destroyed our economy.
Today we fix dowry rates for boys of different categories
doctors, engineers, lecturers, businessmen, executives,
administrative services etc. Merit of the girl has nothing to do in the settlement of the marriage
proposal
. We generally see that ordinary parents find it difficult to select a boy well settled in life,
for their girl who is well qualified and well versed with household activities. summary writing​
