Dowry is the money or goods given to the daughter by her parents during the time of her marriage.The idea behind it is to help her start a new life with a little financial help.Over the period of time,it has become a serious social problem.Often the demand for dowry has increased after marriage.Sometimes the brides are forced to bring more dowry,falling to do so,lead to harrasment by their in-laws.Further this social problem leads to suicide and bride burning.However the government has formulated certain laws to curtain this evil in the society.Thus giving or taking dowry is an offence,paying or accepting dowry has been declared illegal in 1961 by the dowry prohibition act.Therefore this practice has declined to some extent in many villages and cities.
