Harassment In The Name Of Dowry

Hi Everyone, crimes are happening in the world on a day to day basis. Everyone used to speak about the killing and robbery. But, we give less importance to the crime that happens within the family and happens in between family members. This is another real life incident, so I thought of sharing this thought with everyone. Hope, you like this story and provide me feedback on my writing style.

I am working in a private sector and felt sorry for a colleague who has lost his wife a few days ago. I don't know how to convince him or console him to bear such a huge loss in his life. So, I just went ahead with the work. I heard that he was married just a few months ago and he has lost his wife due to covid. His wife was a doctor and heard that she died while treating a patient. He was unable to bear the loss of his wife and stop coming to office.

This was the information communicated to us. We were hoping that, he would return to office soon. But, it had never happened. After, few days our manager revealed that he will not be joining us. He was removed from work as he was accused of being guilt in a dowry case. I was shocked to hear that. It was stated that, he was responsible for the death of his wife and not the covid case. 

I was informed that he has demanded some money and gold as a part of dowry to his wife. His wife family was not that rich and they were unable to provide the money. His wife was being harrassed by his family members and she was not able to bear the pain. So, she decided to end up her life by committing suicide. Suicide is not an end to everything, but making someone to commit suicide is also a crime, that too dowry being stated as the reason is really painful to hear.

That girl could have informed the same to her parents and divorced this person and could have started a different life, rather she committed suicide, even though she has to be blamed, it was the major crime of her husband, which made her lose trust in her life and it ended in her death. My request to people here, please don't harass or kill anybody in name of dowry, money comes today and goes tomorrow. But, we have only one life and it is more precious than money.
