Dowry System Composition for Students
Dowry System Composition: Dowry system has been followed in our country since ancient times. Ancestors started this practice for some valid reasons which has changed the ways of implementing and arising problems in society. Our ancestors started dowry system to give gifts, land, jewellery and other assets for their daughters in marriage so that daughters remain happy and independent in married life. But after coming of British rule the entire image of dowry was changed as the British restricted girls of society to have their own property. Women were not allowed to have any property for which their gifts were owning by their husbands after marriage. In this composition, the ill practice of the changed dowry system and its effects in society will be discussed.
Evil practice of society:
The changed rule of dowry has made the entire system and the society a complete mess. Parents think girl children as the burden over their head as they have to arrange big amount of dowry for getting their daughters married. Even some parents of groom think their children as the source of income through marriage. Poor parents having limited resources do not even expect girl child for avoiding extra burden of dowry. Women were suppressed in society all time which kept them away from equal rights. Grooms’ parents also use dowry system as the advantage for fulfilling their needs of material things.
Negative consequences:
The converted mode of dowry system is definitely creating various issues in society. Poor parents face problems to search groom who will marry their daughter without dowry. For the prevalent practice of dowry groom’s parents even groom also expect dowry from bride’s parents. Parents even have to go for marriage loan for arranging marriage of their girls. To see such circumstances poor people opt for infanticide as they cannot afford expenses of marriage. The pure tradition is being misused nowadays by grooms’ parents. Everyone is just following dowry system blindly without questioning it or thinking about its consequences. It calls injustice for women as they do not get equal status in society. Taking or giving dowry both are illegal under the dowry prohibition act. So, it is our responsibility to protest against dowry and complain whenever we see it.
Conclusion:
Dowry has created negative environment in our society by using wrongly. Dowry is good when it is given to brides as gifts by their parents. But when grooms or their parents demand materialistic things, money, land and property in the name of dowry it is completely wrong and illegal. We should raise our voice against this wrong practice and take initiatives for stopping it soon.
