Question

Speech stop dowry system

Answer 1

I believe that dowry system is the greatest curse of the Indian society. Demanding cash, jewellery and costly items of furniture like refrigerators, Television sets, mobile phones, washing machines and other valuables are still most common in different parts of India by the bridegroom during a marriage.

Due to dowry system, the sacred affair of marriage is destroyed and it is turned into a business deal. The brides are placed in the same class as those of cattle. The ugliest thing about this system is that the richer the family of the bridegroom the higher is their demand. A marriage life that starts with such a business deal can never be happy. The parents of the brides are put to inhuman pressure for a handsome dowry in kind or cash whatever it may be. All the noble virtues of human beings like love, affection, sense of equality, liberal motive, gentleness, sympathy, kindness etc. are buried like rotten corpses. This system is found in both rich and poor community.

Therefore, it is high time to take effective steps against this social evil. It can be rooted out by generating public opinion against it. At the same time, it is essential to pass strict laws for the exemplary punishment of the offenders. I hope, right-thinking people will come forward to raise their voice against the Dowry System in India.

Answer 2

Dowry System: Dowry system is a social disease which is moving very fast in society today. This is a practice to minimize the purpose of our lives. This practice is entirely based on the idea that all the best people in the society are men and women have no importance in our society.

This kind of low thinking and understanding is a great obstacle on the future of our country. The thinking of dowry is a slap on the cheeks of all the advancement and modern techniques of our country.

Dowry practice has also got acceptance of almost every category in our society, which can also take the form of a major problem going forward. Dowry practice has become an unusual way of living in our country from the poor family to the big personalities.

Mahatma Gandhi had said about dowry practice:

"Any person who makes dowry necessary for marriage, it defames his education and his country, as well as insults the entire female caste."

This is what Mahatma Gandhi said before the country's independence. But even after so many years of freedom, dowry practice is played.
