Dowry

Dowry is one of the most wicked, revolting, and condemnable practices that have been distressing the Indian society. This immorality is well acquainted to people in forms of cash and valuables goods given by the bride's family to the groom's family along with the bride. The never-ending insatiability of human being has arrived at an edge whereby it is no longer allowable. An immense numbers of women have been exterminated for not presenting sufficient amount of dowry to the groom's family, luckily enough, if they are not killed then the bride's family and relatives have live a life in which they have to face shame, humiliation and embarrassment from the ridiculed of the groom's family. Therefore, either way it is like a commit suicide.

The ills of dowry in the past have been introduced. The cause of this theory, which leads to inferiority and inequality, are firstly because of moral and social duties of parents. It is an important duty for parents to get their daughter married when they have grown to become a woman, in the scripture it is also believed that after a certain age the daughter must leave the house to be wed. Therefore, the parents then have to seek for a groom for their daughter. This allows the male's side to take advantage of the situation and extract and sucks the dowry from the bride side. If the offer does not meet, their satisfaction then there is no marriage. This is like a business transaction. In addition, we must into consideration that many of these marriages are arranged rather than the will of the couple. The next basis why dowry is in practice is because of the love and affection the parents have for their daughter. The parents wants to send them away from home with love and happiness which in this case comes in the forms of materials such as cash, gold, cars, diamond and etc.

Another reason dowry exists is because of educational in equalities. The holy book of Sikhism says that women ad men are equals. In addition, it added in the scripture that they should be treated with the same level of respect since men themselves came from a womb of a woman. So why not provide to them the same rights and opportunities of education that males have, Indian people believe that women's place is at home and all they have t o do in their life is sit home cook, do the laundry, and pamper the husband. Women are taken away their privileges to develop into clever and successful individuals in life. Their life pattern is set that they must grow up learn to cook, know how to pray and get married. What about education? Has the educational field loss its importance already? Parents of the girls doesn't do anything to make it better, and consequently when the time come for the girl to get married her family may have to provide more dowry because of the reason that the girl is less educated than the boys. It might sound silly on this white of paper, but this real life during the past fifty years ago.
