Answer:
the dowry prohibition act
Explanation:
dowry was generally a gift given to the bride by her parents. It was never necessary to give dowry but later on people specially of boys started to use this dowry as their own property and slowly people started to provoke and force the bride's parents to give dowry due to this they many times beat the girl and ask her to go home back this dowry ritual created much problem for the girls that's why the dowry prohibition act was passed in 1961 because of the unbelievable work of Raja Ram Mohan Roy. He also helped in making the sati ritual illegal.
