The parents of a girl have to fulfil the demand.
*Dowry in the Past and the Present:- The dowry system is not new for India. It is a very old custom but in old days there was no compulsion. The parents willingly gave presents, ornaments and money to their daughters at the time of their marriage. But in modern times this system has taken a very ugly shape. It has now become a compulsion. It is now demanded and settled after a hard bargain.
*Evils:- Sometimes the life of a girl becomes hell. She is beaten mercilessly. Sometimes she is murdered for dowry. Sometimes many young brides commit suicide. The girl’s parents are insulted again and again.
*Condition of Girl’s parents:- The parents of girls wish for a happy married life for their daughter. They save money from the very beginning, if their saving is not enough, they sell their land or take loans. They are asked to spend more and more money.
*Conclusion:- The dowry is a curse for society. It must be rooted out. Society needs reformation. Young boys and girls must come forward to face this challenge.
