Articles on Dowary system in 100-150 words

Answer 1

Dowry system entails giving huge amount of cash, jewellery and other gifts to the groom’s family by the bride’s parents as a condition at the time of marriage. The system was put in place due to a reason in India and that was that until a few decades back the girl child did not have any right over the parental property and other fixed assets and was given liquid assets such as cash, jewellery and other goods to give her a fair share. However, it has turned into an evil social system over the years.

The wealth and property that parents intend to give her daughter as a part of the dowry so that she can be self sufficient at the new place is unfortunately, in most cases, all taken by the groom’s family. Besides, while earlier this was a voluntary decision of the bride’s parents it has become more of an obligation for them these days.

Many cases of brides being tortured physically and emotionally for not bringing enough dowry have come up. In many cases, the bride turns to her family to meet the demands of her in-laws while others end up giving their lives to end the torture. It is time the government of India should take strict action to stop this evil practice.

Answer 2

Dowry System: Dowry system is a social disease which is moving very fast in society today. This is a practice to minimize the purpose of our lives. This practice is entirely based on the idea that all the best people in the society are men and women have no importance in our society.

This kind of low thinking and understanding is a great obstacle on the future of our country. The thinking of dowry is a slap on the cheeks of all the advancement and modern techniques of our country.

Dowry practice has also got acceptance of almost every category in our society, which can also take the form of a major problem going forward. Dowry practice has become an unusual way of living in our country from the poor family to the big personalities.

Mahatma Gandhi had said about dowry practice:

"Any person who makes dowry necessary for marriage, it defames his education and his country, as well as insults the entire female caste."

This is what Mahatma Gandhi said before the country's independence. But even after so many years of freedom, dowry practice is played.
