Bride burning and dowry may look bad, but are an integral part of India.

Hello friends.

In my opinion bride burning and dowry is such a worst things that demand by broom's side. Parent educate their child and giving higher education to live a happy and respectful life in future but the mentality become change they give higher education to take huge amount of dowry from bride side (if they invest 50 lakhs on their son, he expect more).

In India girls treat as goddess Lakshmi but on the other hand she burn by broom family just for a shake of money.

Today girls also stand on their feet and live independently, take responsibility of herself but still she follow a dowry system just because of that they don't get a partner who fulfilled her need without taken any type of dowry comon man grow up.

Earlier days parent gives gift to their daughter because she live and feel different type of environment so it help her to feel comfortable in different atmosphere but tradition goes change, its convert it in dowry system.

So the time comes and take decision man you don't take any type of dowry, don't sell yourself for the couple of money.

Thank you.

Hi friends, in my opinion prevalent patriarchy system of our society, mean mindedness of boys parents, silent consent of boys regarding accepting dowry, paralysed law and order system to check any kind of discrimination or misbehaviour specially related to dowry and dowry deaths, some affluent families of girls who promote this evil by providing abundance amount of money and gifts and some extent to peoples orthodoxy nature of not accepting the changes are the factors which are responsible for this prevalent system in our society. Present situation is so bad that even an IAS officer who might write and speak against this system in his written or interview exam also like to get money in his marriage for sake of his name and fame.

So in my opinion present scenario can be changed only when youth especially boys will learn true meaning of being civilized, and give equal importance to girls, when girls will learn their own values, and above all when government will start to take initiative and implement effective laws in this regard considering women issues important.

First here we need to understand what is dowry system, dowry was a belief in ancient time, that time women means to look after her family and her husband, woman didnt use to work so didnt use to earn money, So women were dependent on their husband, dowry was given to women so if anything mis fortunate befell to her husband and she left alone with her children then she can take care of her and her children with that money which was given in dowry, it was given for the security of women, sorry to say but people who are ignorant about the dowry system are making useless comments about dowry and the generous thought of our ancestors.



Today the meaning of dowry has completely changed because we have forgot our great culture and history today dowry means to extract money out of women's parents.



As far as sati system is concerned ,no where in Hindu scriptures it is mentioned that a woman has to set herself blaze after death of her husband,After the death of Pandu raja ,Kunti didnt becaome sati,after the death of Dastrath raja ,His not a single wife became sati.

Good afternoon everyone.

Yes I do agree with the fact that dowry and bride burning are integral part of India in these days also.

In India the mentality of families is such that they spend lots of money on their boy and most importantly they think boys are superior race as compared to girls. So just to get a superior thing you ll have to pay money. Its like selling a material in the market where.

The family of girls are the buyers.

Now just because of this mentality of considering boys as the superior race it became a tradition in India where the more more branded boys are sold at higher price.

This dowry system made the family of bridegroom greedy. They start asking for more money or materialistic things out of greed. When these creeds are not fulfilled they just forget the humanity and out of anger they burn the bride.

I want to conclude that this was and would be an integral part of our country till the time we won't change our mentality toward girls. It won't change till we don't start seeing boys and girls as equal races.

Thank you.

I think dowry was started in India at a time when there was a vast difference in the social status of a man and a woman. This practice is still prevalent in India because people have not been able to rise above the superstitious beliefs and practices completely.

As a result it has been an integral part of India for a long time now. Following such practices even in the 21st century taints the image of India as a whole. Empowering the women by providing them equal rights as men and providing empowerment centers in the rural parts of the country combined with girl-child education and making them aware of their rights are some of the options which can help women rise up in the social hierarchy.

If we have to rise up together as a developed nation then we have to treat each other equally first and only then with mutual understanding we can arise and shine in the 21st century. Let us not get bogged down by a few false beliefs and practices and present a powerful picture of a rejuvenated India before the whole world.

Hello everyone, A very good evening to all of you.

This is Ajay Kumar today my topic is that bride burning and dowry may look bad, but are an integral part of India.

I think in my point of view it is totally correct statement. As we all know that dowry system is traditionally started culture in our society but it is not a good thing as it has many bad effects in our society. Many of the marriage will not happen due to the dowry system and many more couple will be not be together due to this.

Many of the bride will threatened in-laws house and sometimes they were killed due to not paid of dowry.

And nowadays the dowry system is also a cause of domestic violence which is not good for us and society.

And finally, I want to say that dowry system should be banned in our society but those parents who want to give dowry in form of anything like furniture, bed or even money can give but not forcefully if he wishes to do so for the welfare of her daughter can give but not too high.

Thank you.

Hi everyone, I am Amit Rajput.

Now, I am here to express my view on the topic dowry system.

We all know that dowry system is ancient time started culture in our society. In my opinion, it is not a good thing. And it had also many bad effects on our society. And many of the marriages will not happen due to this dowry system. In the past time, many brides killed and torcher when they are not paid the dowry. But I think that nowadays very few people ask dowry. Because nowadays every person literate and also understand the dowry system is a crime. And Now talk to how totally banned this system. Nowadays many schemes launched by the governments to this system. But it is not the only the responsibility of government. It is also the responsibility of every citizen to stopped this system. So I think it should be totally banned. And those parent's who want to give anything like furniture, bed or even money so give but not forcefully and not for groom's family enjoy.

Thank you.

I am surprised to see so many people have written that, "dowry system is very prevalent in India".

I would suggest all of them to retrospect once again, forget about what you have been shown in media! Just look into your family and close relative and find is it a real problem in 21st century?

There is other side of the story, 'False Dowry Case 498A' to harass husband and its family, as the law is women-friendly (anti-men) , if a women just complain about husband, his sister, father, mother, small kid if husband family put behind bar, and later if the complain is found false, no action against the 498A girl.

Supreme court has 'Legal Terrorism', and asked government take action, but govt is silent!

Do you know that 50-60K men are suiciding every year, because of these gender baised law! Do you know that, there is no law which can protect man from DV (mental torture/Financial torture/ Threatening for dowry case etc).

Don't believe? Google "dowry law misuse"!

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.

No doubt about that the bride burning and dowry are bad. Whereas I think bride burning is almost stopped in the country. But the problems like dowry is increasing rapidly. This problem is very difficult to solve because all across the country well educated peoples are also supporting this, although in front they shows that they are against the dowry but in background they looks more hungry for dowry, as we have seen many cases in news papers and TV. However the medium class families are now little bit avoiding the dowry.

Friend think about the role of women in our families. In 2000th century women's are kept away from educations. Even though they are uneducated they played a vital role in our family as house wife.

Now a day girls are overtaking the boys in most of the fields. And had shown that they can do better than boys if they have freedom to do so. So its time to give respect to them by stopping the dowry.
