System of Dowry


We all talk about womems and thier empowerment but what happens when Dowry comes in between the lovely relation of marriage? We all knw Dowry refers to the valuables, money and other assets brought by the bride to her husband’s home on their marriage. But it is very well said “Gods reside there where women are worshiped”. Though we know from one ancient culture and quote the above quotation, but things are quote different in our society. Women in India are great victims of dowry system in our society, the male-dominated society. Inspite of knowing that  Dowry is illegal only on paper, in judiciary, or in legislature benches. Practically the daughter-in-law is generally treated as the goose that lays the golden egg. Once they stop laying egg, they are tortured both mentally and physically. Also those victims are driven out to leave the house or commit suicide. Females in India are numerically fewer than the males. In practical field the plight of women in India is pitiable now-a-days. Girls and women constitute Indian’s largest oppressed section. Indeed they are some of the staunchest upholders in a family set-up where not only women but girls are expected to bear the entire domestic drudgery, perform most of the parental duties as mother and sacrifice themselves for the benefit of their offspring. We can't do anything about this but all we can do to bring a change is to do the right thing and rescpect a women not her dowry
