Subject: issue of dowry system
Respected sir,
Through your esteemed newspaper I want to draw attention of a heating issue-dowry system in our country. I have been researching on this and helping many people with this problem for last five years.
Dowry system is a curse on our society. It has taken very dangerous form in modern time. Dowry can be defined as the gifts given by bride’s family at the time of marriage to the groom’s family. But now it is not just a gift. It is a demand and demand is mounting day by day. Many girls remain unmarried for the want of dowry. Many others have to face the difficult time in the house of in-laws. This system has many other manifestations also like female child feticide, malnutrition in girls, distorted sex ratio etc. A society, which cannot respect its women, can’t grow. We should uproot this bad custom by strict laws and public awareness. Boys also have an important role in it. They should have courage enough to oppose this inhumane practice.
I expect that you will understand the gravity of the problem. Kindly provide some space in your newspaper.
Thanking you
Yours sincerely
Alan

Sir
Kindly publish the following few lines about the evil of dowry system in our society. The dowry system is a stigma on our society. It is an insult to women. It is a matter of shame for men. The greed for dowry has taken the lives of many innocent girls. They are tortured physically as well as mentally. Many a time they are burnt alive. Though we have a law which disallows the giving and taking 6f dowry, yet this evil is spreading day by day. We can’t end it merely by shouting slogans and holding demonstrations. A woman will have to become bold. They should have an education and should become economically self-dependent. They should refuse to marry dowry-seekers. Men should also try to wash off this unholy stigma. They should take a vow not to demand or accept any dowry at the time of their marriage. It is only by exercising a strong will-power that this evil can be ended.
Yours truly
Hope it helps you.
