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
