INTRODUCTION

• A dowry is the money, goods, or estate that a

woman brings to her husband in marriage. It
contrasts with bride price, which is paid to the
bride's parents, and dower, which is property
settled on the bride herself by the groom at
the time of marriage. The same culture may
simultaneously practice both dowry and bride
price. Dowry is an ancient custom
 Intro( cont…..)
• The purpose of a dowry was to provide "seed
money" or property for the establishment of a
new household, to help a husband feed and
protect his family, and to give the wife and
children some support if he were to die. A
husband thus had certain property rights in his
wife's dowry.
 OBJECTIVE

• TODAY YOUTH WANT DOWRY IN THEIR

WEDDING?
 LITERATURE REVIEW

• The dowry system is so deeply rooted in

Indian culture, that sometimes one feels that
there's going to be no way out - at least not
for another century.
Even modern, well-educated families start
saving up money for their daughter's dowry as
soon as she is born, so what can one expect
from the uneducated masses, whose only
form of education is tradition.

 LITERATURE REVIEW(cont….)
• Dowry is an evil, evil system and all of us, at
some level, condone it and even contribute to
it.
Often the boys parents don't demand dowry,
but our culture is such that we feel we must
give something to the in-laws. In such cases,
give as much as you receive. When you go out
of your way because you are the parents of
the girl, you are contributing to this evil.
