Essay on Dowry system 

The evil practice of dowry prevailing in the country is very ancient. It is mentioned in the oldest scripture Manusmriti, "At the time of the marriage of the girl, the parents should plant wealth etc. as a part of charity and give it to the girl and dedicate it to the groom." But in this context, Smritikar Manu did not make any mention about how much this part should be. Over time, the money given voluntarily to the girl became the right of the groom and later this practice took the form of a bad practice or evil.

Dowry system has taken the form of a demon in today's mechanical era. It is such a black snake that it does not ask for water. Because of this practice, marriage has become a business system. This dowry system is a stigma on the head of the Hindu society. It has ruined so many homes. Many virgins died of suffocation at a young age. Due to this, immorality has been promoted in the society and family conflicts have increased. Due to this practice, many evils like child marriage, mismatch marriage and divorce have taken birth in the society. जैसी

The problem of dowry is increasing rapidly these days. Due to increasing craving for money, the people of opposite party are not satisfied with the dowry received in the marriage. As a result, the brides are killed by burning them alive. Because of this, many families have started considering the birth of a girl child as a curse. This problem is getting worse day by day. Gradually the whole society is coming under its grip.


We should try our best to get rid of this social leprosy. For this many efforts have been made by our government like passing 'Hindu Succession Act'. In this, there is a provision for girls to get rights in ancestral property. Dowry practice was declared a punishable offense and 'Dowry Prohibition Act' was passed for its prevention. All this has not had much effect. After this, the marriageable age limit has been increased. It is necessary that it should be strictly followed. Girls should be given higher education, inter-caste marriage relations should be promoted for the youth so that they can face this evil practice firmly. Therefore, we all together should end this practice from the root only then our society can progress.
