Question

Write a Essay on Dowry System in India.

Answer 1

Giving and receiving of dowry is a social evil and a crime. Almost every eligible boy has a price. His parents dictate the ter as and demand dowry in the form of cash and kind. Such demands put the poor father of the girl in a tight corner. He may beg, borrow or steal but he has to spend for his daugh er's marriage. The bride is tortured and even burnt alive. Isn't it possible to finish this vil? Perhaps, we can check it to some extent through laws and proper education.
