Refuse to take dowry, or gifts, or anything as proxy for dowry. Be willing to call off the wedding if necessary.

Be critical of your friends or relatives who give or take dowry, or gifts, or anything proxy for dowry. Be clear that you do not support them at all in this regard. Do not attend such weddings of friends and family.

Understand that you stand for the right thing, and therefore people might become uncomfortable around you. They may talk behind your back, your own marriage prospects might be affected – for up to 3 to 5 years. But you will also meet people who value and share your point of view. Same happened with the women who refused marriage prospects from men who did not have a toilet in the house, in many villages in India, and used open spaces for defecation. But now it has become “fashionable” to do it. People change with time. Those who are a bit ahead of their time have to face some hardships.

$INSHAALLAH it will help you!$
