Explanation:

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.

Dowry system is followed in India since a very long time. Our ancestors started this system for valid reasons but now it is leading to issues and problems in society. In this essay on dowry, we will see what dowry exactly is, how it started, and why it should be stopped now.

History Of Dowry

Dowry system started even before the British period. In those days, society does not use to consider dowry as a “Money” or “Fee” you have to pay to be brides parents.

The idea behind the dowry system was, to make sure the bride will be financially stable after getting married. The intentions were very clear. Brides parents used to give money, land, assets to the bride as a “Gift” to make sure their daughter will be happy and independent after marriage.

But when British rule came into the picture, they restricted women to own any property. Women were not allowed to buy any property, land or assets. Hence, men started owning all the “Gifts” given to the bride by her parents.

This rule changed pure dowry system into a mess! Now parents of the bride were looking at their bride as a source of income. Parents started hating their daughters and wanted only sons. They started demanding money as a dowry. Women were suppressed since they did not have equal rights as men. And since then, grooms parents follow this rule to their advantage.
