Dowry means property or money brought by a bride to
her husband when she gets married. It is a curse. The
main reasons of his harmful social malady are illiteracy,
poverty and greed of the bridegroom. Although
sometimes it is willingly given to the bridegrooms, most
of the time, the poor people fall an easy victim to it. So it
become difficult on the taro of the poor and the
middle-class family to get their daughters married
because of this heinous dowry system. Besides most of
the poor parents cannot keep their word that they give
before marrying off their daughters. She is often
inhumanly tortured and even sometimes killed by her
husband for dowry. Dowry system destroys the very
fiber of the holy bond to marriage. So relevant laws should
be enacted and enforced to eradicate the malpractice form
the society. Besides, raising consciousness among people
can play a vital role in eliminating this social curse. I am
drastically averse to this social vice and I thing we should
raise our voice against it.
