Dowry is a social curse. Dowry has caused unrest in the lives of thousands of girls. Many girls do not get married because of dowry. Dowry is an ancient custom. Dowry causes unrest in the society. At present no father can think of marrying his daughter without dowry. If the dowry is not paid on time, misery falls on the foreheads of the girls.
One of the main reasons for dowry is greed. Greedy people demand a lot of thinks from the bride during the wedding. Seeing no way out, the helpless parents agreed to pay the dowry. But when the parents could not pay the dowry on time, the in-laws started torturing the girls in various ways. Many daughters have to endure daily torture from their husbands for dowry. Unable to bear the torture, many daughters left their husbands' homes and moved to their father's. Many girls commit suicide because they cannot bear the torture.
Dowry is a serious crime. Under Bangladeshi law, giving and taking dowry is an equal crime. Dowry is an abominable practice. Many parents become destitute due to dowry. In order to see the daughters happy in the husband's house, the father arranges dowry in any way. Again, many fathers choose to commit suicide out of shame as they cannot pay the dowry.
Dowry causes chaos in the society. So, we should stand against dowry. Only our awareness can remove the abominable practice like dowry from the society. The government also needs to make stricter laws on dowry and implement it so that the practice of dowry is eradicated from the society.
Since giving and taking dowry is an equal crime, we will neither take nor give dowry. If anyone wants dowry, we must bring him under the law and punish him. Say not to dowry and bring peace in society.
