Dowry / Dowry System

Dowry means property or money, which is brought by a bride to her husband’s house at the time of marriage. It is a social curse. Usually in our society female children are considered (we‡ePbv Kiv) inferior (bxPy) to male children. They are thought to be no use. So greedy (‡jvfx) people claim (`vex Kiv) much money or wealth from the parents of the brides. The poor and illiterate girls mainly become the victims of dowry. It the guardians fail to fulfill the demand of the bridegrooms, they misbehave (Lvivc e¨envi Kiv) with their wives. As a result many of them get divorced or commit suicide (AvZ¥-nZ¨v Kiv) or are killed by their husbands. This system has affected our whole society. I am dead against this evil system. It should be uprooted (g~j DrcvwUZ Kiv) from the society. Government should take strict (KwVb/k³) legal measures against the person who take dowry.
