Subject: Expressing concern over Dowry—The Social Evil
Sir
Please spare a column or two for publishing my views and comments on the custom of dowry which is inflicting untold miseries on our young sisters.
We boast of women’s liberation movement but the need for a huge dowry to many of a girl proves that a girl is still inferior. It is a fact that a girl will never be on par with a boy as long as the dowry system prevails.
Parents think that only a handsome dowry can ensure the happiness of their daughters. They face humiliations, miseries and incur huge debts simply because of this evil practice of dowry. Parents think that their daughter will not get respect at her in-law’s house if she is not given a handsome dowry. We live in an enlightened era but the sons are auctioned and sold off to the highest bidder. How detestable it is!
We need social sanctions rather than legal sanctions to eradicate this evil of dowry. Legal steps devoid of proper awakening prove to be coercive and create bitterness. The futility and inhumanity of this custom must be understood. Girls should not be treated as commodities. Girls should be educated and made economically independent. The would-be husbands and wives should take a pledge that no dowry will be involved in their marriages. Only they and nobody else can bring about a social change. They should fight against this degrading custom and eradicate it once and for all.
Yours sincerely,

sub:-dowry a social evil
Please permit me to pint out the evils of the dowry system that has wrecked many a meadow of married life. I shall feel grateful if you kindly spare me a column in your esteemed ‘daily’.
The evil of dowry has marred several lives. It has assumed an alarming situation in these days of soaring prices. Dowry system is curse. It is social evil. Today, no marriage is considered to be complete unless it is followed by a train of dowry. Hardy a day passes when we do not hear of a case of bride-burning here and there in the country. The poor parents of the girls heave cold sighs when the marriage-becomes a wreck.
The evil practice of dowry has given rise to many social ills. This cruel practice must be done away with. Boys and girls should come forward and take vow not to take or give dowry. Mothers should be discouraged from giving dowry. Much should not be spent on marriages. Day-marriages should be popularized. The number of guests should be limited. Strict action should be taken against the defaulters.
I request you to give a wide publicity to these views of mine.
Thanking you
Yours faithfully
