Dear Editor,
Dowry system in India is that greedy and sinful evil that has demolished so many Indian families from past innumerable years. Dowry is considered as one of the most critical aspects when finalizing a girl marriage and if the family of girl somewhat remains incompetent to fulfill the desired demands subjected under the dowry system, the girl is either abandoned or declared as not a ‘FIT’ for groom’s family. Education is the most precious gift parents can give to their daughters nothing but education so they grow up to be fearless, independent and they know the importance of coequal rights in this patriarchal society. Dowry is the most sickening and off putting practice prevailed in the society right now and hence needs to be stopped in no time. Parents should always do the upbringing of their child in such a way that they don’t feel discriminated in any way, shape or form. Don’t let your son do it, if your daughter can’t .We should not just witness it happening but also stop it by raising our voices and taking a step towards it, do not encourage it in any situation as It is doing no good in society resulting in innumerable ill effects of it including harassment, murder and it also declines the status of women In our society. Let’s raise our voice together and let’s abolish dowry once and for all.
Ayana Gandotra.
