I agree with Mr. Sujith Kumar, if the guys are not able marry without getting dowry then how they will lead their life in future how they will take care of the girl who they are marring.  Save

As you said, if it is a gift and a voluntary contribution by both the side for the betterment of new marrieds life, we need not call this as a dowry culture and oppose it. But, this is being spoken as a market rate for a bride groom. A girl, who can't be able to bring anything as dowry, but joining the life with a settled family, she is getting treated so worst. This is the starting point of social evils. In this point of view, the dowry culture must be strongly opposed. For that, the girls should be well educated and to become another pillar of Indian economy.

I think it has stopped in many states but miles to go before this becomes non existent. 

Yes we must stop it as it is responsible for discrimination against women before and after birth

It look nice when the dowry is being received from the bride's parents but it is not even liked to imagine to give the same to them. When one is not liking to give the dowry then how can one imagine to receive the same. Everyone should give a thought to it....

It's the worst evil holding Indian people and no one dares to oppose it. People having money are so greedy that they ask for more . This must be removed but for this will is required in people.

It should be stopped with immediate effect & a law should be implemented

against such wrong tradition.

A big YES to stop this Dowry system. Now a days marriage have become a business where bride and bride groom become a sale product. In market after a sale the party who buys the good took whole for any future damages or repairs. But in marriage if any problem arise the cause is opponent. Rich man can give lots and lots of money and still expected. But what about the poor. Even though he is not capable of getting few hundreds, also expected a lot. We young should eradicate this dowry system. Lord William Bentinck had banned Sati in 1829 in that period itself. Why not we in this modern era. Lets take a Oath from this second not to give and get dowry. So that it can implies on our generation.

Just think only MONEY is deciding the LOVE between two people?

DOWRY SYSTEM IS A HUGE PROBLEM IN INDIA AND IT SHOULD BE ABOLISHED.  IT IS SPREADING LIKE A VENOM IN INDIAN SOCIETY. 

THANKS FOR REFERRAL SHEETAL....

I am supporting Sheetal 's argument on the premise of mutual understanding.In my view it has taken root in India and Indian psych due to male chauvinism and later on integrated as a matter of right. This is offshoot of the right of property. The male will never share property right with sisters and so parents have to devise the way out to compensate their daughters.And it was not a bad idea. In modern times the dowry has become another type of compensation for parents of boy child. They want to be compensated for the expenditure they incurred on education and boy's earning. It has been so twisted that newly brides are tortured. There are very few persons who have an understanding and accord full respect to their daughters in law. No law can stop dowry business unless society changes drastically towards accommodation.

There should be some system or law that do work in the field of this accordingly.
