Question

Why is dowry system considered to be a social problem

Answer 1

Dowry can put great financial burden on low income families. Often times, instead of being a gift, it more of a demand from bridegroom’s family. So the bride’s family needs to come up with the financial backing to meet the demand from the bridegroom’s side. I have heard stories of parents selling their home or taking out massive loans against their homes to marry off their daughter. You can also imagine other problems that can arise from a system like this. Just to name a few, sex-selective abortions, negligence toward daughters, abuse, etc. These are all problems that directly or indirectly effect safety of women and girls.

Answer 2

dowry system is considered as a social problem as it has led to many offences like harrasment and torchering of the victim this usually happens when a groom demands a dowry and the family of bride is not able to give it then such offencing situation take place this is the reason why dowry is considered as a social issue
