Hi Pankajdhakad !!
THE EVILS OF DOWRY SYSTEM:-
The Dowry system refers to the practice of demanding the property, wealth etc of any girl after her marriage by the family of the husband.
Originally dowry was usually heartfelt and conferred upon the girl by her parents and relatives as a mark of their blessings and well wishes. They could be in the form of voluntary gifts such as jewellery ,money etc and the girl usually took along some memoirs from her parental home and got settled in her newly married life with many social responsibilities to perform as well..
With the passing time the system of dowry degenerated into a social evil. It was now seen as a curse rather than a blessing bestowed upon the girl. The greed of dowry had so much blinded the eyes of young men that they refused to marry a girl without getting a handsome amount of dowry from the girl's family . The father was always compelled to give dowry during her daughters marriage whether he could afford it or not.
Marriages are the religious communion of two souls ,which had ,now, become governed by the system of dowry that the girl brought along with her. None thought about the feelings and sentiments of the girl who was about to start a new chapter in her life....She was merely a toy and her husband became the puppet owner who could easily make her dance to his beats. A sacred relation was often spoiled for the sake of material wealth-dowry !
Just a few days ago in the city of Sripur there was a news about a newly wed bride being burnt alive in the funeral pyre of her old husband. The girl had neither been able to fulfil the requirements of dowry and neither had she been able to spent a single day in her married life. There were screams asking for help but the crowd which had gathered around her were like the wild flames of the funeral pyre,ready to punish the ill fated girl who was preparing to face death .
Is dowry so important that you can't imagine life without it ?!
Is this the sole reason why a girl embarks upon her journey on earth .To grow up ,get married and further face the wrath of her tormenters ..?!
Where does the humanity left in humans suddenly vanish and fade away ? Isn't there a single soul left on this earth to bring about a change ...
That day the girl was engulfed in the flames of the wild fire . An innocent soul had been ripped apart . The one who never wronged anyone had now been badly wronged...
The girl died a miserable death..
But her tormentors lived on ...
They were never punished . And indeed this is the truth of our country India ! Many a fathers have committed suicide due to failure of being able to give the dowry .
Can't we ,for the sake of humanity stand up and fight together for a noble cause ?!
Can't we stop this evil practice and put an end to it for good ?!

Hope that helps !
