Dowry- nowadays has become a compulsion for a marriage. But shouldn't the only compulsion for marriage should be the happiness of the couple. Anyways, this dowry system has created really serious issues in our society. Parents of a girl become worried about  their  daughter's marriage from the day of her birth. Mother starts collecting the household things and father become worried about all the expenses. This really creates an awkward situation for the girl too. Many girls become depressed because of a fact that their personal attributes are not counted to qualify for a marriage but what counts is the number of trucks of dowry they are taking with them.  

Mostly it is said that girls are greedy and they will prefer a rich man over any other person so what would you say about a boy whose family demands every little thing of the house from the girl’s parents and the boy doesn’t even make a stand. He is just happy because he is getting a whole package, a bride and the new furniture of his house. This is happening from a long time but now when people are aware of the moral values and worth of human being, this needs to stop. This thing can’t be justified that a man , who can earn, will allow someone else to pay for his house. Isn’t it against the ego and self reputation of a man ?

Every year thousands of girls commit suicide, or are murdered for not giving their husbands their favorite car or not fulfilling the void in their mother’s in law heart. Many girls are tortured every day, girls whom parents are not well off have to make a compromise for like for the rest of their lives. A girl dream about her marriage as it is the only escape from all the problems of her life but when electrical appliances are given more importance, her dreams are shattered. And not her in-laws even her parents tend to care more about the things they have been collecting for her, than her.

It is really stressful for a girl to see that how her parents spend their life time savings on her dowry so that her in-laws can’t complain. Women should know the worth of their existence. What’s good in speaking and protesting when the whole matter is switched to nothing ? All girls should speak against the dowry and fight for their rights.  

Young boys are also expected to be vigilant when it comes to these customs. They should also exert all their efforts to fight against evil. If they would allow happily the dowry of their bride, their daughters and sister would also suffer the same. No man can allow such burden when he is capable of gaining all accessories and necessaries.⁠⁠⁠⁠
