■The dowry system in India refers to the durable goods , cash and real or movable property that the bride's family gives to the bridegroom , his parents or his relatives as a condition of the marriage .

■Dowry stemmed from India's skewed inheritance laws and the Hindu Succession Act needed to be amended to stop the routine disinheritance of daughters .

■Dowry is essentially in the nature of a payment in cash or some kind of gifts given to the bridegroom's family along with the bride and includes cash, jewellery , electrical appliances , furniture , bedding , crockery , utensils and other household items that help the newlyweds set up their home .

■The Dowry Prohibition Act , 1961 article 3 specifies that the penalty for giving or taking dowry does not apply to presents which are given at the time of a marriage to the bride or bridegroom , when no demand for them have been made.
