Dowry

Yeah it still exists...


We are in 21st centuary which talks about equality of boys and girls. In this generation girls are leading in every field. But still, women are harassed for dowry. Still we hear cases like abusing, injuring and even bride burning for dowry. There are also cases in which the bride had been harassed physically and mentally to the level that she had to commit suicide. And more shocking news is nowadays it is prevailing more in educated families. Day before today, I have read in a newspaper that a MBBS bride has been burnt for dowry by her mother in law.

Whose mistake is that ? ?
Her husband who supported his mothers view. Her mother in law who actually commited crime. Her parents who married her to that family and forget her. Or herself who doesn't opposed it.

I think it is bride's mistake and only she had to suffer. Why she agreed to marry such a person who was not capable of earning enough or who was soo greedy. First time they asked for any gift showed their basic mentality. Is the marriage that necessary that parents agree to push their daughter to hell.

Even if she didn't realize it before marriage, why didn't she oppose when first time they ask for dowry. Why she want to live with such people who are soo greedy and does not have any values. Basic nature of a person can never be changed. So, why she didn't left that home. Our religion says that we should respect elders but it also say that it is our duty to oppose wrong things. Not opposing a crime is a bigger crime. There are still girls who do not oppose such activities and so such evil yet exists in our society.

If our education system cannot provide enough courage to girls to oppose such activities, wat use it is of ? ?
