A woman lives with a thousand dreams when she is born and grows up. She builds a tower of dreams in her heart without telling anyone about her desires and aspirations. Please don't fence for women's desire by listening to dowry. Build a life for a woman who grew up in a poor family.
According to me, the "Dowry System '' is not only limited to the state of Bihar. It is everywhere in India (especially in UP, Bihar, and Jharkhand). A very huge effort is needed to make these typical people in our country aware of this old and stupid ritual. The reality is that people who can afford the dowry are offering it openly to all eligible bachelors.
I come from a place where I have seen people taking dowry since childhood, and I am not saying that the dowry system is just in my city; it is everywhere, and people still do not say anything. And now people have created this system, culture, and ritual.
After all, why is this system here, and how far will it go? No one comes from the front and says that it is wrong; do not take dowry.
I have seen that in many homes, the birth of daughters means the expenses from education to marriage; perhaps this is the reason that even today, people in some cities and villages do not want daughters because they have to give dowry. So this is the reason why people demand more sons so that they will get dowry and not have to give it.
On our side, people first ask how much dowry the boy is taking rather than how his house is or what is family-like.
When I was in my childhood, I used to understand that marriage is done with money, but as I grew up, I came to know that it is called dowry, which is taken by the boy to marry the girl. Then I started feeling from the inside that it was wrong. Parents should give daughters and dowry too; then it should be the system that when a boy is taking dowry, why is it not a system or culture to remain at home as a Ghar Jamai? Why is it the system that one day the girl has to leave her house and go to her in-laws' house? Instead, the boy should become a Ghar Jamai.
We always read in newspapers and on TV and see that because of dowry, a father sold his house and killed himself. My only question is, ‘Is a daughter cursed for her parents?’ Do daughters happen because they do not ruin the lives of their parents? Daughters are the most beautiful gift in the world, but this society has encouraged this practice.
I do not support this so-called dowry system. The dowry system should be banned in India, as many women commit suicide because of this system. In India, most families followed this system even if they had everything. People demand dowry according to the qualifications of their sons. They demand double or more of what they have spent on their son. In some families, they demand jewellery, vehicles, etc. If a girl’s parents fail to fulfil their demands, then a relationship between the families will end.
As a result, the girl has suffered an injustice because many other girls, including her parents, died.
Educated girls and boys both so that they could stand on their own, become brave, and raise their voice against dowry.
Dear women and families of women
No one is doing you or your family a "favour" by marrying you. If your partner can't stand up against this and convinces you that things will get better in the future, Trust me, it won't, and besides, we're way better off single or choosing a partner who doesn't need to live off your savings or your parents' money.
Dear men and families of men
I am sure you don't need another family's hard-earned money to support you. I am also certain that you have raised your children. in such a manner that they can fund themselves and buy things that they like with their own money.
