conclusion on dowry system in India?
Answers
Although the country has been advanced, there is still no change in the dowry system of the country.
Many women have lost their lives because of this dowry system. In some of the cultures taking dowry is a status symbol and we should take initiatives to educate our girl child to protect against the dowry system.
Explanation:
According to me, the dowry system should be definitely banned in India as a number of women suicide because of this system. In India, most of the families followed this system even if they have everything. People demand dowry according to the qualification of their son. They demand double or more of what they spend on their son. In some families, they demand jewellery, vehicles for their whole family. If a girl’s parents are failed to fulfil their demand then a relation between the families will end.
So this is injustice with the girl because of this many girls died even their parents also. To avoid larger dowries, families often marry their daughters off as children.
Globally, more than 700 million women alive today were married off when they were under 18. By 2050, this number is expected to rise to 1.2 billion.
India has the most child brides in the world and this phenomenon is partly driven by the dowry system. The younger a girl is, the lower her dowry price will usually be, so to save money, families marry off their daughters at young ages.
