Dowry system in India
Dowry system in India is as old as History. Only the kind of things given has changed.“Dowry” can be explained as things given in cash or kind to the bride at the time of wedding by her parents.
In very old days, only oats, maize, utensils were given.
With the passage of time, things changed. Standard of given things changed.
Kings or wealthy people started giving gold ornaments, horses or land.
Poor class people had been always much affected lot.
In modern society, though the standard of giving dowry has gone a drastic change.
I think people have become more greedy now than before.
More and more innocent girls are becoming target of evil custom of dowry.
Heinous crimes of bride burning by their spouses and in-laws are increasing.
Youth should come forward to stop this evil things.
