Dear student,
Such questions need to be attempted on your own to test your creative writing skills. However, these points might help you elaborate:
- Dowry is the gifting of cash, gifts, valuables to the groom's side of the family by the bride's side at the time of marriage.
- It puts a lot of financial and mental burden on the bride's parents and relatives.
- The family undergoes a lot of stress in buying various things: car, bike, fridge, television, clothes, gold and diamond jewellery; sometimes cash and land is also gifted.
- In certain parts of India, marriages are fixed between families on the basis of dowry.
- If the dowry is found insufficient by the groom's family, they create nuisance.
- Often, the bride suffers humiliation, mental and physical torture.
- Many dowry deaths have occurred due to this evil practice: the bride is burned alive or hanged.
- The system of dowry has been prohibited by the government and is a punishable crime.
