The Indian marital system has been tainted by the societal evil of dowry, which has led to unspeakable crimes and tortures against women. Dowry is a gift given in kind or financially to a bride's future in-laws at the time of her wedding.

The dowry system devalues women by treating them like commodities that can be purchased and sold. Even worse, the system views them as a liability rather than a good to be passed on because the bride's family must pay the groom's family to cover the costs of caring for the bride. As a result, the custom of paying a dowry upholds the social norm that views women as possessions.

Dowry largely depends on the thinking of the guy and his family; it has little to do with romantic feelings or arranged marriages. In India, many arranged marriages take place without any financial exchanges, but there are also love marriages when large amounts of dowries are accepted. But in a love marriage, at least, the man already has a strong relationship with the woman, and their union is based only on love.

In certain marriages, neither side demands dowry, but the girl's family still gives her a lot of goods to improve her standard of life after marriage, therefore it's okay in that instance. However, parents of boys occasionally demand dowry. That still accounts for the majority of families. The gentleman should persuade his family to stop demanding the dowry. We are advanced enough to prevent our avarice from ruining our relationships. A marriage is a holy connection; it is not a purchase. There should be no cost associated with it because if there is, both people's life would be ruined regardless of what happens.

However, the brightest new generation is breaking this custom. They make sure there isn't a dowry exchange—both the boy and the girl. Additionally, they are both content in their lives, so an extra million rupees wouldn't matter. Even though these instances are uncommon, they are truly beautiful to see.

In some circumstances, getting a dowry in a love marriage in India is simpler than getting it in an arranged marriage. Parents are forced to approve of love marriage if the girl manages to persuade her parents that she must marry him or else she will do something wrong. The girl's parents are once again forced to pay the lad the dowry when he begs for it. However, in an arranged marriage, the union may be dissolved if the boy demands dowry in advance.

The dowry system cannot be abolished until people reach adulthood, it is a truth. Even in love marriages, the groom and his family have the power to compel the bride's family to pay dowry; nevertheless, the bride's family may do so out of concern for their daughter. However, the dowry system might be abolished if people grow in their ability to think critically, refuse to offer or accept dowries, cease exchanging pricey gifts, and object to extravagant weddings.

Dowry systems and other social stumbling blocks can only be eliminated by a shift in perspective. Even yet, there isn't much chance that a love marriage will involve dowry. Still, it's a possibility. And last, in general, a woman may experience harassment in a marriage that is unrelated to dowery.

Women are frequently treated as liabilities because of the dowry system, and they frequently experience subjection and inferior treatment in many spheres of life, including schooling. The absence of employment opportunities for women and the resulting lack of financial independence is the wider context for the practice of dowry. In order to assist them to save money for their daughter's dowry, the less wealthy segments of society send their girls out to work and earn some money. Even when they send their girls to school, parents from middle and upper-class backgrounds don't highlight the importance of employment possibilities.

One significant and priceless gift that parents may provide to their daughters is education and freedom. She will gain respect and the proper status in the family as a result of being able to support herself financially and contribute to the household. Therefore, the best dowry any father can possibly give their daughter is a good education and encouragement to pursue a career of her choice.

Dowry is the worst thing in society that should be finished in order to have a successful marriage. And society's conscience must be completely aroused to the injustices of the dowry system.
