There are many types of gender inequality but the chief among them are inequalities in the social and economic field.

1. In the social field, the first inequality is the Mortality inequality.

2. The second inequality in the social field is the natality inequality.

3. The third is the household or family inequality.

Factors responsible for gender inequality are.

1] Child marriage.
2] Dowry system.
3] The sati system etc.

HI, friends.

I would like to share my view about Dowry System. At present dowry system is a great problem of developing India. We are responsible for this evil activity. In our society, there many families who is standing against this but what they do. Because our mentality have made up following this system. If boys who marries with girls. They stand against the dowry system and refused dowry even who are giving dowry are rich or poor. Boys made their parents understand. According to me, it may be a solution to abolish dowry system.

Thank you.

We all are responsible for this becoming an integral part as we have allowed it to continue. We are all passive members of this sad crime. We feel as long as we are not accepting dowry or paying dowry it is ok. But it is not ok. We must strongly rise against those who still continue to practice this system and demand punishment for such crimes. There must be more awareness and strict action.

It is true that rich and elite continue to give dowry under the guise of marriage rituals, especially some Hindu communities that have an elaborate ritual of showcasing the gifts bestowed by the bride's family on the wedding day. Is this not dowry too disguised under the pretext of amenities for the bride's comfort?

Let us all wake-up and have the guts to say no.

The only acceptable dowry should be a fruiting tree that can be planted which grows up to provide free shade, oxygen, fruits not just to the family but also birds around us.

Hii.

Yes, bride burning and dowry are an integral part of India. Even though will it the satisfactory thing that if women husband die the women along with her husband also has to burn. It is a crucial thing. And coming to the dowry the persons who are rich they are giving as much as a dowry that is asked by bridegroom family. But what about poor people can they give that much of dowry to bridegroom family?

Rich people are making this issue so problematic. One thing I don't know is girls are any things to buy or any product to buy by spending money. These all are should be banned.

According to my opinion, Yes. Dowry is an integral part of India.

Even if some families are rich though they follow such but poor man can't afford all these. I would like to give one example on this.

Assume that one one person who belongs to the poor family but he has wished to do marriage of his daughter for this he wonders here and there. After a lot of efforts, he gets one person which is best for his daughter as she looking for. Only for his daughter's he gets ready to give dowry even he can't afford that much money. See how we got accepted all these even we can't though we accepted. That indicates an integral part.

I would like to suggest to all my friends to get rid off from all these and become self-independent so that we can face every situation easily and with ours accordingly.

I totally agree that dowry has become an integral part of India. But we have a false notion about dowry that it is restricted to the uneducated and the villages is our country. Most cases of dowry and bride burning are reported for the so called Elite members of our society. These people belong to the well educated class.

As in the present generation male and female working equally and are paid equally, then why the bride families have to pay dowry just for the luxuries of the bridegroom. They can just give gifts as a token of gratitude but not forcefully. Earlier gifts were given with bride so that she can be comfortable but is was misunderstood. As now both the girl and the boy are well educated they should stand against this dowry system so that it gets eliminated from air Indian society.

According to me, dowry is a part of INDIA but not bride burning. In our olden days, there is no word of bride burning in fact their family members would treat her as their Goddess Lakshmi so we can't say that bride burning is a part of integral India.

Actually, each and every man should take a stern decision that he will not take dowry while getting married if this is done how can his family insist him. Now the majority of them are men in this GD also who are against dowry >>> be frank will you not take dowry when you will get married?
