We are living in 21st century, Our country 60 % population are Youth age below 45, literacy level reach 80% which was just 26% at the time of Independence . Raja Ram Mohan Rai country well know social reformist were taken initiative against Child Marriage 1826 but still socially and economically backward class population bound to marry his/her child in below the age 14 . Payment of dowry prohibited by Dowry Protection Law 1961, supported by section 304b and 498a of IPC Act, in spite that Dowry are still major factor in deciding marriage of upper class society due to status of bride family.
Most of the country literate population following the trend of western culture - our dressing sense changed, Dhoti- Kurta replace by Jeans, Cargo & T- shirts, using Cars for local travel in place Bullock Cart , Mobile become basic need of people make communication easy today, consumption of liquor & bear increase in youth , parents pushing children to be part glamours world like Modelling, Acting, Singing, Anchoring, DJ, Radio Jockey etc, Night dance party and Pub culture become the part of daily routine . Question is that if our society freely adopting western culture then why not ready to remove the dowry system from the country? Why Honor Killing supporting by so called thekedar of society? Why we not follow western culture in this issues? there is no "cast creed" boundation in marriage, youths are free to choose Grooms AND in place of dowry they give & take only Roses and Chocklates . Why our society always adopt double stander ?
Dowry is ancient tradition of our country, people believes that giving & receiving dowry reflects the status AND help to achieve different hierarchy in society but it was also related to Self satisfaction, Willingness and Happiness of Grooms family. Now days it become the condition with the list of Goods for Marriage by Brides family , this condition should be in terms of high qualification, better understanding about family values & society, self dependency etc, Which help To increase Women literacy of country - very important for Nurturing and Grooming for next generation, To decrease the death ratio due to dowry, To increase the strong bonding and happiness b/w newly couple, these are important requisite for peaceful life .
Therefore Dowry should be in form of Willingness from Grooms family, not condition with the list of Goods from the Brides family.
To irredicate dowry give freedom to youth to choose Groom or Bride as per his/ her preference.
