Dowry Culture A Great Evil that exists in Pakistani Society

 What is Dowry :

                                          It is a culture in all countries which is also common in Pakistan. The term Dowry used for things which provided to the girl by her parents when she is getting marriage . In our religion Islam there is no concept and necessity of Dowry. A dowry doest not include things but also consists on cash money. The dowry consists on the 15-30 cloths for girl, clothes for parents in law and for husband which they use for a year. The dowry including Furniture, crockery, bride, grocery, Gold, pillows, sofa etc. According to my experience sometimes parents in law demand the Car 🚗, Motorbike and bungalow from girls parents. Next to my house girl's parents give the cash money in forum of dowry to girl's husband because he have not her own home.Thousands of girls waiting for marriage and sometimes their relations or engagement break because girls parents can't afford a huge dowry. This culture not only in middle class, illiterate people but also common nowadays in High educated families and upper classes. This is a great evil in society which make  victimized many girls who are waiting for her marriage. In dowry culture during the wedding time the 3-4 dishes are also common. This thing make many parent's respect in danger. Because they don't want to insult their daughter due to she is going to her husband's house, if her parents fails to not give them huge dowry. So she will always mistreatment Physically as well as psychologically, because her parents not able to give dowry. By this way many parents take loans from their friends even from banks to make their daughters wedding better.

Impact of Dowry:

                                The dowry not only brings problem for girls parents before marriage but also afte marriage. Our society nowadays is becoming very greedy, they don't think about anyone respect. How the parents and brothers  of girls arrange dowry for their daughter no one can imagine. They borrow money 💰 and also take a burden of loan. They do work and save money from years to give better dowry.  When girl get marriage after that she always get insult from relatives of their husbands and parents in law. By this way every day many girls get divorced because they are abusing. The violence also take place in the return of low dowry while separation of spouses is also common. She do every efforts and work of her husband's house and always try to place in her husband's house. But parents in law doesn't give respect her and maltreatment always with her. The biggest impacts of dowry is dowry death which cases are also on rise in our Pakistan. In our neighborhood a boy rejected her uncle's daughter because, his demand is of Motorbike. Which daughters parent's could not afford. The are countless examples and cases of this culture available in every society.

Conclusion:

                     The culture of  which is the main reason of uplift in society should be banned 🚫 by government. It is an immorality which brings conflicts and many problems for the daughter's parents. Many girls who are waiting for marriage sometimes they are rejected due to low dowry. It also bring the greed among public so every people demands dowry. The government and youth should play their role to stop this evil by this way many girls would be able to marriage. The pressure and insults of daughter's parents also should saved by this way. This thing break many girls home. People self respect should be government first priority and when will dowry system banned , system automatically better.

                                 The End.
