Understanding Dowry Practices
Historical Context
Dowry has been practiced across many cultures throughout history. Originally, it often served as a way to provide financial security for a bride in her new household. However, over time, in many societies, it evolved into a problematic practice that commodified women and created financial burdens for families with daughters.
Legal Status in India
In India, the Dowry Prohibition Act of 1961 made giving and taking dowry illegal. The law defines dowry as property or valuable security given either directly or indirectly by one party to a marriage to the other party to the marriage. Despite this legislation, the practice continues in various forms across the country.
Modern Perspectives
Today, many young couples and families are rejecting dowry practices in favor of marriages based on mutual respect and equality. Educational campaigns and social movements continue to raise awareness about the harmful effects of dowry on society, particularly on women and their families.
