In ancient times, the practice was such that people used to give dowry to their girls, depending on their status. Gave them the kind of equipment they could build their house on. But gradually, it became necessary to give dowry. Now the boy and his parents voluntarily ask for dowry, and they marry after giving dowry.
By the way, as I have written, the ritual is ancient. The Ramayana also states that when Rama Chandraji and his brothers were married, the parents of their wives used to give them gifts. He also gave them tips, ornaments, and property. There are many reasons why the endowment is not ending with India.
The first reason is that women here are considered inferior to men. The father of the girl thinks of himself as inferior to the boy, and if the father of the boy likes someone's daughter for his son, he feels that he is making fun of the girl's father and that he should reward her for his kindness. Is given for dowry. Few people realize that in the eyes of God, man and woman are the same, and it is a sin to think less of a woman than a man.
One of the reasons why women are considered inferior to men is that there is little education in women. They do not understand their rights. The things that their in-laws tell them, they carry on, and it is their duty. The second reason why the practice of dowry is not abolished is that financially women are also men. On their income. The man manages the bread by earning Rs. It is believed that he provides food for someone else's daughter, and therefore, he asks for dowry, and the girl's father is compelled to pay dowry. ۔
Those who adjust to dowry believe that the girl must receive some part of her father's property. By the way, those people have no maturity. After marriage, the girl gets a new house, and the boy gets a wife who takes care of her home. The needs of the two are equal in that they both help each other. But because of dowry, women do not get the respect that society has for men, and for this reason, most women suffer from feeling inferior. This affects their whole life. The tranquility of their homes is bleak. Nowadays, when you pick up a newspaper, you will see some news in which it is written that the girl committed suicide by torturing the in-laws. All this is due to dowry. When boys get dowry less than expected, they bother the girl in every way.
Tired of their bad behavior, most girls commit suicide. Some people burn their daughter-in-law alive, and their fault is simply why they do not bring more dowry with them. Ends and they are forced to deprive their children of education. That way, many minds are lost. They can be accommodating in the development of the country going forward. It has increased to the extent that those who have only girls and have no boys are considered unfortunate and who have only boys. And girls are not regarded as lucky. So you can understand how much benefit our country and society can have if this ritual is abolished.
Well, now is the time for us to take advantage of the situation so that we can be relieved of this calamity forever. The only way to get rid of this is to spread education among girls, to give an equal education to boys and girls. Women should be made aware of their rights, and they should also be made to feel that they are essential in creating and nurturing society. Women should be given jobs; women doing jobs will also reduce the practice of dowry.
