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

Speaking of the present situation, dowry is still prevalant in India while bride burning isn't thanks to the better media coverage these days. One of the biggest impacts that media has brought in our country is bringing down remarkably the evil social practices of the past.

However the practice of dowry is still there in India owing to mindset of bride's parents themselves. This might be due to fear or desire to show their status or any other.

Whatever the reason might be the feeling of equality is being lost due to dowry. So apart from implementing tougher laws the mindset of people needs to be changed for the wrong social practices to get eradicated.

Dowry has been an integral part of India but not anymore.

Now it is a crime. Marriage is not a business or money making ritual that dowry should be a compulsion.

Everyone knows that dowry used to be given during marriage but it was for the girls comfort and not for the groom's family to enjoy.

I think this particular generation can bring a lot of change because we are educated and we make sense. Today men and women are treated the same so why not here. It's our duty to abolish this particular system even though we are not an active part of it.

If someone is seen observing the ritual then we should raise voice against it.

Hello everyone.

According to me dowry is the most serious problem which the Indian brides are facing. The girl is not only tortured mentally but sometimes physically as well. She bears a lot of pain just because of the greediness of her in laws. And sometimes even the husband also supports his family. This makes it even more difficult for the wife to stay there. And the typical Indian mentally also forces her to stay at her in laws place because we Indians have a belief that a girls real home is her in laws place. The society further blames her and make rumors about her. At the end the girl has no option except suiciding.

It is inhumane & uncivilized act. This shows how cruel we are, hard hearted rather no hearted. For money & wealth man will step down to such an extent. I think these are all the result of following our age old rotten traditions. I don't know why people given so much importance to old is gold, old is gold. There is no understanding in it.

Every minute everything is changing but we never changed our thinking. We learned how to fly on air, how to swim in the water but never learned how to walk on the earth! People give lecture & talk of love, peace, god, religion etc but never transformed themselves good.

Dowry is one of the awful evil in the developing country like India. We everyday see many cases like torturing their wives for dowry. Don't they earn their own money?Don't they have any self respect? For money how can they behave such a cruel with their wives who came to them by scarifying everything they owned. Guys as we are all educated and well cultured just think before acting.

In my view the persons who tortures their wives for dowry is not less than beggars. If the bride's family is ready to give dowry then I don't disobey them to take it am just telling you not to demand it.

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 me, dowry is that devil which is still ruining lives of many brides. Not only.

Small town people are demanding it, even richer family are involved in such things. The most ridiculous and shameful thing is killing the bride in case not getting demanded amount. I recently attended a wedding of my relative in which I came to know that groom's father returned all the things given by bride side and demanded cash instead of it.

This dowry is that problem which make me feel that India is still a under developed country in terms of thinking and respect to women.

Now it is a crime. Marriage is not a business or money making ritual that dowry should be a compulsion.

Everyone knows that dowry used to be given during marriage but it was for the girls comfort and not for the groom's family to enjoy.

I think this particular generation can bring a lot of change because we are educated and we make sense. Today men and women are treated the same so why not here. It's our duty to abolish this particular system even though we are not an active part of it.

If someone is seen observing the ritual then we should raise voice against it.

According to me women is an integral part of our nation burning bride or dowry is not necessary but marriages are considered as pious in India so if marriage take place at a young age or among poor people they are bound to dowry system or evil practices like burning the bride after the death of her husband.in India there was a time when women were considered as holy and was given a prestigious place but after so much of advancement yet there is no security is provided to girls.it is a shame for the nation as without women the world will come to an end.

I think dowry is pernicious or vicious system who is eating the vital of our society &
hamper the growth of development of our society's womanhood on the right way.If it is
right so,why it taking & it giving is a cognizable illegal or punishable .As a gift it
is little right but as a fulfill of demand to boy's family is not right of any angle of
society this cause many parents don't want to have daughter.so, please raise your voice
against dowry & boycott it with unity for extermination of dowry system from society.say...............
