Answer:
Money is a short story originally written as "Dabbu" by "Muppala Ranganayakamma" in Telugu on the social evil of dowry. It was then translated in English. The story addresses the social evil of dowry and how greed for dowry subsumes the human element in marital relationships. The prospective son-in-law desired to have one crore rupees as dowry or a share in his prospective father- in- laws property, whichever was more. However when his father-in-law told that property will worth ten rupees more, then he wanted one crore and ten rupees as dowry, as his wife would inherit the property and the dowry money will belong to him.
