Dowry system
Dowry system mean during a marriage when the bride’s family gives the groom family money property for the marriage. This system is started from a very ancient times. Dowry is giving to the groom’s family so can they took the proper care of the bride. But now days it’s become like a trade. The greed of the groom’s family become more and more which led to many malicious crime like domestic violence, murder etc. Sometimes bride’s family felt very much burden for this system for not fulfilling the demand of the groom’s family. It is come as threat as if they don’t marry their girls their reputation in society will be destroyed. In Asian countries, specially in India dowry system is very much relevant in today generation also. Some people even think that if they don’t demand anything from bride’s family it’s like a crime. Sometimes the married girls have face a lots of difficulty for this even many times it’s led to their death. They have to face physical and mental violence for this. That’s why it’s become illegitimate in India. To protect girls from this the government made a law under the act 1961. For this system girl children saw as a burden in family. So the below poverty level people killed their daughter after and sometimes before birth. Dowry system should always be prevent. No one should accept or give any kind of money and property during marriage. Marriage is a bond of love and a pure relationship it should never be polluted for the act like dowry system.

Dowry system is being acted as a curse to the whole nation. With an increase in times, everything has been improved except the dowry system. This has been the curse to many families. Though dowry has been declared illegal according to the law but indeed it has not stopped. The boy and family, especially in arranged marriage, demand the dowry in order to get married. Henceforth, it is not seen or realized by the boy’s family that whether that much dowry can be given by girl’s father or not. There exist many cases in which the marriage is left by the boy on the marriage day because the girl’s family cannot fulfil their demands.
The cases has been extended upto such situation that the girl is being tortured by their in laws because of not fulfilling the demands of dowry. The girls are not tortured emotionally but also physically. They are being slapped, burnt, even killed for dowry. The father of the girl not only gives his girl but also his lifetime earned savings in the marriage.
Noone understands until the situation is being faced by themselves. It is a humble request that people should treat their daughter in law as their own daughter. This is a very shameful act because girls face such things and are helpless in these situations.These are the reasons why people don’t want girl child, not everyone is that strong to face such kind of tortures and they lost their daughters.
Respect girls, save girls.
