write a letter to editor of newspaper dowry system
Answers
The Editor,
The Tribune,
Chandigarh.
Sir,
Please permit me to pint out the evils of the dowry system that has wrecked many a meadow of married life. I shall feel grateful if you kindly spare me a column in your esteemed ‘daily’.
The evil of dowry has marred several lives. It has assumed an alarming situation in these days of soaring prices. Dowry system is curse. It is social evil. Today, no marriage is considered to be complete unless it is followed by a train of dowry. Hardy a day passes when we do not hear of a case of bride-burning here and there in the country. The poor parents of the girls heave cold sighs when the marriage-becomes a wreck.
The evil practice of dowry has given rise to many social ills. This cruel practice must be done away with. Boys and girls should come forward and take vow not to take or give dowry. Mothers should be discouraged from giving dowry. Much should not be spent on marriages. Day-marriages should be popularized. The number of guests should be limited. Strict action should be taken against the defaulters.
Let us hope that this monster of dowry is not allowed to blast the happy meadows of married life.
I request you to give a wide publicity to these views of mine.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Archi

Subject: About the dowry system
Respected Sir,
Through the column of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of our society to the evils of the dowry(marriage settlement).
The Dowry system is a curse to our society as it causes a financial burden on the bride's family. In today's era, no marriage is complete without money and other items given as dowry by the bride's family to the groom's family. Most marriages break in our society due to any issue directly related to dowry.
This dowry system gives birth to many criminal offenses like domestic violence over the bride, torture of the bride by the groom's family members, etc.
Gandhi Ji once said that whosoever makes the dowry as a precondition for marriage, disrespects women, and such people must be boycotted by society.
Dowry not only spoils the life of women but also the life of people related to her. So I make a request to the editor of the Hindustan Times to highlight this letter in the public domain.
Thanking you
Yours truly
