                                   DOWRY SYSTEM IN INDIA

Today, in the modern world there came about many changes with course of time. Especially in the field of technology there came about many drastic changes. Many new inventions were made. However, till today the lives of women are unchanged despite many new laws and actions.

Today , women's life is not safe. They are often prone to many problems in the society. They are not safe and secure in our society. They seems to be harassed and often treated to be inferior.This brings out the inequality among men and women. 

Most often men treat themselves to be superior and try to lower women and girls. This is the problem being faced by women since past  many years. Although many changes and developments came about in the society still the girls are afraid to walk alone at night. 

In ancient days there were many social evils prevailing in the society like caste system. Apart from caste system some other evils also prevailed like child marriage, sati etc. In some places a newly born baby was also married. It was horrible during those days. People were illiterates especially girls were not allowed to study.

Although girls were educated and developed there are some who are still facing problems in the society.Major of these include Dowry system, kidnap, rape etc. These are damaging the lives of girls and leading to their death.There came about many laws and rules against people harassing girls but still the problem couldn't be solved.

Among these problems the major evil prevalent today which is eating up the society is dowry system. In-laws house generally demands the girl to bring money along with her to their house. This indeed seems like bribery. They call this system a part of the marriage which is quite disgusting.

Dowry system is very dangerous. Today, human beings are so selfish that they are ready to kill innocent women for dowry. It 's that even women(mother-in -law and sister-in-law) in most cases are a part of it. This has become a serious problem for the country . 

There came about many cases where innocent women were killed recklessly for money. It's quite heart-touching. This should come to an end. In a developing country like India it leads a bad impact and serves as a drawback. So to end this many laws came up, many quotes were quoted saying; the person who asks for dowry is a donkey and soo on.

There came about many changes in the life of women now . With time the mind sets of people have also changed . They realised the importance of girls. As girls became illiterates they were able to manage , protest and fight for their freedom and rights.Today society respects girls without any discrimination.

Everyone especially girls are waiting for a day when they will be able to choose their life partner by themselves and for the day when dowry system completely ends in India.

Hope it helps u..........
