The dowry system in India

1)There are many evils in society. The Dowry system is one of the ugliest evils. The history of the dowry system is not new. Indian society gives pride and respect to women. But it has perhaps become a matter of the past.

Unfortunately, in our male-dominated society women are not held in high

respect. A girl child is not as welcome as a male child. So, every family has to

                                       ?

suffer from the evils of dowry as every family has a daughter.

Dowry is a gift given to the bridegroom in kind or cash at the time of

marriage. It was voluntary in the past but now it has become an obligation.

Since her birth, the girl becomes a matter of concern for the parents. They start

saving money for her marriage from that time. But the market for bridegroom is very high. The better the boy, the higher the price. Parents, to keep their daughter happy try to buy her a good husband through the price of dowry.

They have to bow down before the huge demands from the boy's parents. It

maybe easy for the rich to meet the demands of the groom, but it is not so for

the poor or the middle-class people. They take loans or sell their houses or mortgage their lands to get their daughter married. Still , the things do not suffice. very often the girl has to suffer from insults and tortures over the question of arrears of dowry years after the marriage. She is put to all kinds of abuses. Sometimes she is even killed. Bride burning has become a frightening part of today's life. Even sometimes, tortures and insults become so insufferable that the bride commits suicide

This evil of the dowry system should be uprooted from the society. The

existing laws of dowry in our country are not stringent at their application. So,

strong enforcement of the law is necessary. The wrongdoer should be given severe

punishment. Young boys and girls should come forward and take the

challenge. Women's organisations should take up the cause and fight it out.

People should be made aware of the dangers caused by this evil custom.

Otherwise, society will be suffering forever.. DRUG ADDICTION

Drug addiction is a great social menace. Many young men become victims of drugs and die
