DOWRY

Q: WHAT DOES DOWRY MEANS?

A: DOWRY MEANS THE PROPERTY WHICH A LADY BRINGS FOR HER HUSBAND 
AT THE TIME OF MARRIAGE.OR THE BOY DEMANDS FOR THE PROPERTY FOR BEING MARRIED A PARTICULAR GIRL.

HOW IT STARTS AND SPREAD

DO YOU KNOW HOW THIS DOWRY SYSTEM ESTABLISHED, IT HAS A  VERY INTERESTING STORY BEHIND THAT. IN ANCIENT TIMES  RICH PEOPLE CHOOSE TO GIVE THEIR DAUGHTER - PROPERTIES LIKE MONEY, LAND, VIECHLES LIKE HORSES ETC FOR THE SAKE OF GIVING HER DAUGHTER A LUXURY LIFE OR A HAPPY MARRIED LIFE, SO SHE COULD live HER LIFE MORE  COMFORTABLY. BUT ALL THEY DO SO WILLINGLY, OF THEIR OWN. AND SOMEWHAT THIS WAS ALSO A WAY TO SHOW THE AFFECTION TOWARDS HER DAUGHTER., THE MAIN MOTTO OF ESTABLISHMENT OF SUCH SYSTEM WAS QUITE VERY SIMPLE AND OBVIOUS. AND WAS  NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, AT THAT TIME, BUT WITH TIME IT GONNA BE HORRIBLE DUE TO SOME MISCONCEPTIONS, RUMORS, AND MYTHS. NOW SOME DECADES AGO IT HAD BEEN MADE A RULE THAT NO ONE COULD MARRY HER DAUGHTER IN GOOD FAMILY, UNTIL AND UNLESS THEY can PAY, A HUGE DOWRY. 

WHY THIS IS WRONG

WELL, WE ALL KNOWS ITS WRONG, BUT PRACTICALLY WHY! DO YOU KNOW WITHIN INDIA( ONLY  ) THERE ARE MORE THAT 730 CASES OF DOWRY AND IT TOOK 52 DEATHS IN the RECENT YEAR 2019, IT IS HORRIBLE EVEN IN THIS MODERN WORLD THIS IS TAKING LIVES OF PEOPLE. #THE REALLY SHAMEFUL EVENT FOR MANKIND#

THIS IS NOT ONLY THIS MUCH TERRIBLE AS IT IS SEEMS TO BE, BUT IT HAS A FURTHER NEXT LEVEL IN IT. WELL!! IN COUNTRIES LIKE INDIA IT IS CONSIDERED THAT A LADY WILL ACCEPT THEIR HUSBAND AS SUCH AS THEY ARE AND THEY ARE GIVEN THE HIERARCHY OF GOD IN THEIR LIFE. IN SOCIETY THE WOMEN WHO RAISE VOICE AGAINST THEIR HUBBIES ARE NOT CONSIDERED TO BE A WOMEN OF A GOOD KIND/NATURE/BACKGROUND.  SO MANY women JUST complete HER LIFE BY JUST COUNTING THEIR BAD DAYS ONLY AND WEEPING 

FOR THOSE GIRLS WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO GIVE THE DOWRY ARE BEING TORTURED, THEY DOESN'T GOT THE RESPECT THAT THEY  Entitled( RIGHTFUL RESPECT) AND JUST MISBEHAVED AND MISTREATED BY IN-LAWS RELATIONSHIPS, AND IN SEVERE CASES THEY ARE BEATEN AND FORCED TO BRING MONEY ANYHOW FROM THEIR MOTHERS HOUSE. AND SOMETIMES EVEN BEATEN TO DEATH OR SET ON FIRE.

GOVERNMENT EFFORTS (IN INDIA)

THE DOWRY PROHIBITION ACT (1961) ACT OF 28 OF 1961 WAS THE FIRST TIME WHEN GOVERNMENT OF INDIA HAS MADE A PROPER LAW THAT DOWRY IS ILLEGAL,

NOWADAYS GOVT. OF INDIA HAVE STARTED SECTION 498 A  OF PENAL OF INDIAN PENAL CODE, THAT HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASES THE CASES TO 10 PERCENT.

BUT DUE TO INCREASE IN NUMBER OF MISUSES OF THIS LAW

THE PENALTY HAVE BEEN RAISED TO15000 FROM 1000, RECENTLY.

WOMAN AND CHILD  DEVELOPMENT MINISTER ' MENAKA GANDHI ' HAVE MADE

...........SOME STRICT LAWS IN DECEMBER 2014.

REMEDIES/STEPS COULD BE TAKEN

1. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT IS THAT TO AWARE THE COMMON PEOPLE 
   
2. ABOVE LISTED ANTI DOWRY STEPS MUST BE MORE PRACTICAL AND, IMPLEMENTED MORE STRICTLY.
   
3. VOLUNTARILY SOCIAL SERVICES AND NGO SHOULD COME FORWARD FOR AWARENESS.
4. RELIGION HEADS SHOULD ENCOURAGE THEIR FOLLOWERS FOR DOWRYLESS MARRIAGES. 

DOWRY DOESN'T MATTERS THAT MATTERS IS THAT BOTH BOY AND GIRL ARE HAPPY AND SHOULD be EDUCATED SO, THEY LIVE THEIR MARRIED LIFE HAPPILY. 

MAHATMA  GANDHI - Any young man, who makes dowry a condition to marriage, discredits his education and his country and dishonours womanhoo...
