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.

I don't feel like dowry system and bride burning should belong to our culture. Eventhough measures are taken to bring an end to the dowry system, families in many parts of India consider that as a social custom demanding dowry from the bride. There are many cases where the marriages were cancelled as the brides' family was not able to produce the dowry demanded. Even if all the criteria are satisfied such as matching of horoscopes, family status and all, dowry issue would become a crucial factor to decide whether the marriage should happen.

Tolulope, from Nigeria. I have grown to know that India has it's foundation on LOVE, but with what I see that love is no more. How a parent fill when their child comes of age to marry and his day was filled with sadness instead of joy. Should marriage be for worldly possessions instead of love? when parent get scare and abort their daughter because of dowry, time will come India would be fill with just male, then we would see who will pay the dowry. Or India would rather grow to a gay nation. When all the female run away. Show some love.

Dowry is one of the most abominable customs prevailing in our society. It refers to the money or gift given to the girl by her parents at the time of her marriage but now it has became a social evil.
Boy and his family ask for large sums of money from the girls parents. For this reason birth of the girl is often considered as a curse on the society. Girls are often burnt if the girl brings insufficient amount of money. We all should come together and take steps to uproot this problem before it is too late.
Thanks.

According to my view,though these rituals are an integral part of our nation, there is nothing wrong to raise our voice towards social evils.As women are considered as most powerful creations of God,we must behave in such a way to make those words true.
In those days because of ignorance and lack of education,they followed these crucial practises.But right now we are enriched with knowledge and technologies.Also by many sense we are equal to a men.so we must be bold enough to oppose these social evils.

It is said that gradually dowry system has lessen but it's not like that, dwry system still exist in huge amount. Earlier, parents use to give dowry to thier daughter for her comfort but peaple take it in a wrong way and use it in wrong way and demand for huge amount and like this way it is become an integral part of India. Now a days girls are more educated than earlier time, now they are not dependent on their husband. So they can take step against these bad things and fight for these.

In my opinion dowry is something which is never / was never a part of culture of India. what i feel is giving gifts to there daughters at the time of marriage originated this and slowly and eventually it took the form we see today.
parents can give their daughters according to their financial status and wishes but dowry never was and will be an integral part of the Indian culture.
Talking about bride burning , it never was and will be justified in any of the civilizations or culture.

Hai everybody, good evening.
According to me dowry a social evil became a part of our marriage. Before entering the wedding hall the bridegroom should pay the money/property to the bride in the form of dowry. It seems to be same as entering a cinema theater with a ticket in his hand.
If she didn't pay to him he his not willing to marry. But his/her mindset should be changed, that marriage is not a business to do such activities. So, one should be keep away from taking/giving dowry.

I totally oppose this topic because taking the life of a girl doesn't enrich or increase the value of our Indian culture. They are, rather the black spots of our culture.
In one hand we consider the girls as goddess Lakshmi and on they other we support bride burning and dowry system. Does it really makes our Indian culture an unique one?
Yeah, it makes it so by showing that how cheap mentality we Indians posses. After all how can we expect the improvement of a nation without women?

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.
