Dec 24, 2011 I recently saw a documentary showing how this horrible tradition affects your nation. Life is too precious for parents to kill or dispose of their baby girls in such a manner!! How can this be allowed in a society where enlightened people supposedly live. It is time for a change. What ideas do you have for a change to take place? Should it come from the people or from the government? Why is it so hard for this traditon to be stopped. Does your God allow this, is it ok to kill and harm another human being?? I, as a person, have been affected very much by knowing that this is happening in this day and age. What can I do to help????

Marriage is connecting two ppl and their family. Why dowry shud cum in between them. I really don't understand some ppl very well knew tht the girl's family is not able to give more dowry but still they will demand more. when they particular abt money, material let them go to ppl who r ready give. why they want to suck the blood of the family who r nt capable. Govt has to bring a rule that whenever they give dowry, both have to pay a higher amt of tax, then only i think we will cum to know how black money is engaged in this customs. Also whoever take loan will be fear to give dowry as many % will go by tax. unless r until they pay the tax, Govt should not allow the marriage. only in India all this nonsense happens. A man has to settle his sister(s), then only he will marry in his early 30's r 40's later on he will non-stop running to make his daughters wedding. he will not even enjoy the wealth r comfort. The hard earned money will be saved n transfered to an unknown person along with his daughter. Without any guilty he (the groom) will accept everything. Female infanticide is truly connected with this bull shit customs.

the women should concentrate on their education and career rather than regarding marriage as their only way of salvation. instead of having their parents chasing after the men of higher status, the women themselves should raise their own status, so that the men run to them, begging the women to marry them. with modernization and the increasing role of women in a productive economy, creating other ways for wives to contribute to their families` economic well being, one would expect support for the dowry system to diminish.

during the ancient times dowry was considered as a custom in our country. the custom however became a social evil with the passage of time. this social evil has taken lives of many innocent brides for its non fulfillment. deaths of young brides through suicide or homicide following disputes over the dowry are increasingly a feature of indian society. the 18th law commission has recommended increasing the minimum sentence from 7 to 10 years in dowry death cases. it has, however, declined the suggestion to increase the maximum punishment from life imprisonment to death sentence.

very good article. i think its high time we start making our daughters equally competitive and career oriented as our sons. in india ,what i have felt is that it is not only dowry but in every social function like mundan and all ,girls parents are supposed to give gifts and other items to the inlaws and the worst is that the boy's parents think that it is their birth right. what crap!! frankly speaking, i really feel that we need to reform our society and put an end to all this nonsense.

dowry is such a thing which shows prestige of a girl when she goes to her in laws house and because of this reason the family members of the girls house tries to give as much as possibile. if less is given to the girl then the girl has to suffer many things and is being torchered by many people.

this is the only society in the world that treats its women as a burden.our society thinks that the man is taking care of his wife, feeding and clothing her, so he and his family needs to be paid(compensated) in the form of dowry. but in true sense a women marries a man, takes care of him, takes care of all his needs, bears children for him, gives him his own family and still she is treated worse than an animal.

shaji, you're a m0r0n, in-br33ding leads to anomalies. apart from that these women that you so enthusiastically talk about, are inf1dels, who are br33ding machines/a chunk of money for the groom. the fact of the matter is that you can't do a thing its integrated into the society of the low3r beings. were you raised on a farm? cause you speak like a hill billie r3tard who is out to solve the worlds problems, by smok1ng pot or eating sh1t mushrooms. what sort of an advocate are you any way? on what basis are you calling yourself an advocate? your comments state the obvious rather than critically thought for solutions. not every woman can be hillary clinton, cause if they were, they'd be at least 50 at the time of marriage. and if you meant a celebrity they would have to scr3w around with any guy who can get them some star light of fame...the truth is that people like you are the problem waste their time at these forums instead of joining an activist group or giving speeches (which by the way you are incapabl3 of).

dowry ! the most criticised word but still v all r suffering from it. one thing which i want to say " this hazardous evil resides the most in the baniya community ". ppl r stark greedy here. they want to eat out every last grain of the bride's family . the grooms family directly asks for lakhs of money in cash , a luxury car, food by renowned caterer, venue to b a farm house; these are the demands of ppl who themselves belong to the middle class n wn u ask them to present a gift to ur daughter than wat they say is " v dun have to give" in this community, squandering money in marriages is displaying ur wealth to create an impression hw wealthy u r though u may b starving at home . i m fed up of ths thinking. n i dun think education will help remove this evil.. due to social pressure no bridal family could utter any word... there shud be some sting operations to catch ppl demanding dowry and shud b teached a lesson. this is a request to the male community that plz dun consider marriage as a financial source and help stop this evil by restricting ur family too.

dowry is the most persisting promblem in the indian society.no matter how much we progress in diferent feilds there seems to be no freedom from dowry.it is not a problem restricted to the uneducated or the downtrodden.even the highly educated are victims to it.most of the girls are mortally scared of marriage.this could be the reason behind abanding many new born girls in hospitals etc.i think along with girls, boys should also be educated about dowry in their early years. it would be helpful if goverment added syallbus about dowry in the text books

dowry is a old practice which is continuing past many years. the girl's parents used to give a free will gifts to the girl when she gets married. as the days passed by the dowry is becoming a major issue between the two familes and this issue is becoming a major reason for not establishing proper relationship between the couple who get married. all because of "dowry" which seems to be a very big problem for people in india, why is there any action being taken ? the answer to this is that , girls are still not able to judge their own life's. they are not putting an end to dowry. if all girls aim in not giving dowry to guys then i feel that this issue will subside to some extent. educated girls can start this because we are seeing the socitey where mnay innocent girls are being burnt to death! what can we do for this ?? the girls parents will put that in front of the court for jutice! then what ? will this stop the issue ? no , each person has thier own way of harrashment. we have to use our brains. we need to think with brain, and not with heart. there are so many guys who are not willing to take dowry. even such guys can help in solving this issue. if the girl is having a good charecter and is educated.....then i feel she will be capable enuf to be a good daugter-in-law as well as will carry her responsibilities in a very efficient manner

dowry system not only hurts the self-respect of a woman but it also hurts the reputation of a country awarness needs to be created so that women who are still prey to this evil system are provided with the freedom they desire. marriage is such a bond which can only exist due to true love and it can't be bought by money

education is important for a girl but this is not only to fight with dowry , this is for all round development of a girl like all other human being. maximum of us say that educate the daughters other wise she will be in great trouble after marriage. but why to take help of education to get rid from it?if we say that then what will happen to the poor illiterate married women of rural areas? they have to tolerate everything as they are illiterate? we should try to destroy it from the root not to divert the line. dowry harassment happens to any woman , literate or illiterate, the only way to destroy it, is by protesting together and disclose all kind of dowry harassment by the in-laws instead of tolerating as long as possible. the lesson should teach to those in-laws and the husbands who torture a daughter-in â€“law, a wife for dowry other wise this trend will never finish.

very good article.i think majority of the indian society is very well know about dowry system,educated families r more enthu to practice dowry system.they can also guess how much dowry they can get from the girl's father by calculating their son's education &jobstrength.education is the key for males,the higher they qualify,more the demand for dowry,high class educated society style.nowadays its a fashion for educated male to ask his friend or a colleague when he gets engaged or married for how much he sold out,or does his wife has a job or not.dowry system is known to all whether its in rural or urban & also followed by its own style everywhere.educating a girl about dowry can only secure her from these frauds to some extent.firstof all,the law & order should be followed strictly against dowry system.

each and every father wants to give some gift to his daughter on her marriage according to his capacity and status because its tradition but when conditions and restrictions are applied on that gift then it is called dowry.

from my point of view not that the groom's parents are asking for dowry. before they ask the bride's parents itself saying that we have this much to give for our child. how much you are expecting from us. so i like to advice for all the bride's parents not to sell their child. if you all stop giving then they will they will stop asking thats all i wish to say.

good! today we r aware enough to discuss & criticize dowry....hope next century will be free from this curse.this evil has gel into our blood so smoothly that sometime we dont even realize that what is part to dowry custom and what's not.yes when this dowry pratha will be over then noone will curse their destiny for having daughter.to all husband i want to say that tommorrow u can be in father-in-laws position..so be strong to face ur parents & support ur wife now to remove this evil from root. education is very imp but bookish knowledge dont tell us face these social probs..impis to tell ur daughter & son about gender equality.in our society boys r rarely asked to help in kitchen.from begining they hv different set of work.now girls can do boys tasks like paying bills, earn money,bringing rashan etc but boys still hasnt. after reading such article i feel stronger about my antidowry views.... also makes me feel happy that it has been taken as a very serious issue. in middle class families girls r not killed physically but hv to die emotionally daily by their nonsupportive husbands & demanding in-laws.girls pls dont demand/bring something from ur parents which they cannot afford or it is an undue demand of ur inlaws.

married at 20, with a bachelors degree from a reputed college . pursuing her masters degree and pregnant with ... what is to be the family's only male child for the next decade . what more had she to offfer ? that would be the typical question posed by any onlooker. but the sacrificial goat got up the minute she saw a light in the kitchen , helped out with all the cooking before rushing off to a full day at college . getting back in the evening to more house work . what did she get in return ? after every one bathed in hot water , she was asked 'you don't need hot water do you?' what could she say , she could not demand it. modernoity calls her stupid and just adjusting . but kindness would call it torture . a sterotypical senario of what happens to the young married girl . the only way out is education or she'll be the house mais , the baby sitter . pure exploitation . my advice educate your girls and land them a job before they get maried and all of you will be much happier . this is what happebed to me and i am giving my child the best education that money can buy , only hpoing to make her self sufficent .

i do agree.....specially in some cultures...where daughter-in-law's father is abused for every small thing like clothes not coming from daughter's place in diwali...not invited in some silly function..this should come from girl's place that should come from girl's place, a bunch of garbage that usually mothet in law talks....i really tht these kind if in laws should be dragged to public and exposed badly.....whatever be the love and affection between husband and wife...those husbands who do not fight this out with their parents...should be left...come what may.....just kick thm and come out of hell and society should help girls re-establish anyway education andf job can be definitely a shield for women in a society like that of ours.........

i do agree that education is a must for a girl. i feel education is a must for a human being whether a boy or girl. who are we to discriminate that a girl should be educated so that she would not be shunned if she does not bring a dowry. it is time we put things in the right places. education is not an answer to dowry. education is a right that anybody should demand from the society to live a prideful life. doing a job or not is a personal consideration. dowry is a social evil existing only in some societies, where irrationalities dominates. an indian male should be rational enough to shun dowry, because it is nothing but an alm in the garb of gift. the wife works for him tirelessly from the very first day, she arrives in his house yet she is not given the respect she should command. males should think and rethink. the poor father of a daughter is always at the mercy of his daughter's happiness
