Essay on dowry system ​

The Dowry system has been in India for a long time. The purpose was simple, and it started as a way to help and secure the newly wedded couple. The bride’s father gifts land, money, and various other property to the couple to make sure they don’t face trouble while settling up with their new life. But over time, it became more of a compulsion and a social issue in our society. The process was intended to benefit the newly wedded couple to start a new life. But it is now an evil side of our society, as the bride’s family is under immense pressure to pay a certain sum of money along with durables.

The dowry system has put the bride in a very delicate position. The groom’s family looks at her as an asset, and she is a liability for the bride’s family. The entire interpretation of dowry is under the question of is it a way of suppressing women? Domestic violence is often found in various parts of the nation related to dowry, and sadly most of them go unreported.
