In ancient India dowry system is quiet desent. They started it for good reason. The kings considerr this as a means to girls their due as ansistral property. Later on it became like a SEED MONEY, which is helpful to start new huse hold. That is purley girls parents who decide dowry.
If dowry gving and taking is with in finanacial limits with the mutual understandig that's not a problem.But as of now People are trying to settle with dowry itself. Many cases they are bargainig for dowry and sometimes after marriage they are humiliating the girl. It became like statu symbol. How far it is correct??
If they are taking money to get marry what is the differnce between marriage and antisocial elements going on in society?
The system should change. In order to change the system as a people we are responsible.
Does Marriage means it should give importance to love, affection etc rather than money or along with the money???
What you people think about this???

Dowry is not necessary here in our place to get married.
You can get married with someone you love if you are financially stable and have a stable job to start a family.
No dowry thing to be given to any party like buying your bride or groom.
have a good day

This is an ancient culture practice that was improperly and can't applied again. But their always argued that it has become their tradition which they must do. So, if you want to eliminate the culture about dowry this, you should be able to change their culture. Can you change their culture ?

The culture is good because it started for proper reason. It's nothing to do with the culture. Ancient days it started for good cause. But now it became like worst part. That's what I am saying. In ancient days it's girls parents who decide the dowry. But now boys parents who are demanding and spoiling the anicient noble thought.
