Dowry is the money, valuables, goods, estate or property which the bride (girl) party gives to the groom's (boy) party in exchange of marriage. Dowry system in India has its own background, initially, dowry was an institute in which gifts and presents were given to the girl at the time of her marriage by her parents. The element of compulsion on the part of bride's parents was absent in it. But over the past two centuries, it has undergone changes in its meaning and has an element of compulsion. Today, dowry means the property demanded by the boy's people according to what they think as the value of the boy, from the bride's people. Accordingly, the bride's people as per the oral agreement, pays dowry either before marriage or at the time of marriage or after marriage is performed. Dowry, thus, has become the right of a groom and his parents.

They also practice bride burning if men don't get the dowry they want, regardless of how poor the bride's family is

I don't think so, if she can't come up with the goods they probably move to the next candidate.

Very unhygienic people, even worse than the Habeshas. I reckon if more Indians were Muslims India would have been much cleaner place.

Let's not focus on the negatives of this great system. Rather let us discuss how it makes sense for the bride's family to pay the groom's party as he shall be responsible for her till death do them apart.

are you out of your mind??????????????

the dowry system is the root of Indias social problems.
its the reason female children are seen as a liability and abortions are very common.

The man should pay the dowry, not the other way around.


if you want a cultural practice that is attractive why dont you look at south americans, mexicans etc.
all you need to do is invite as many guests as possible, the guests will contribute allot of gifts and cash.
the cash is usually enough to pay for the wedding and the honeymoon.
and you get microwaves and tv's as wedding gifts to start your home.

Yeah India, where a girl gets gang-raped to stop her being a slut.


India police fire water cannon at Delhi rape protesters


Tear gas and water cannon were used against protesters marching on the presidential palace
Indian police have used tear gas and water cannons to keep back thousands of protesters marching in Delhi over the gang rape of a young woman.
Violence broke out as the protesters, mainly college students, tried to break through police barricades to march on the presidential palace.
There has been outrage in India over the attack on a bus last Sunday that has left the 23-year-old woman in a critical condition in hospital.
Six people have been arrested.
The government has tried to halt the rising anger over the attack by announcing a series of measures intended to make Delhi safer for women.
They include more police night patrols, checks on bus drivers and their assistants and the banning of buses with tinted windows or curtains.
'Sips of water'But the protesters say the government's pledge to seek life sentences for the attackers is not enough - many are calling for the death penalty.
Some carried placards reading "Hang the Rapists" and "Save women. Save India" as they marched on Saturday.
Junior home minister RPN Singh appealed for calm after the clashes broke out. "This is not a way to protest," he told India's CNN-IBN television. "Trying to storm buildings and breaking barricades is not a way to start a dialogue."
The woman and her friend had been to watch a film when they boarded the bus in the Munirka area intending to travel to Dwarka in south-west Delhi.
Police said she was raped for nearly an hour, both she and her companion were beaten with iron rods and thrown out of the moving bus into a Delhi street.
Doctors said on Saturday that the woman remained in a critical but stable condition, but had been removed from a ventilator.
"She is doing much better than yesterday," said BD Athani, superintendent of Safdarjung Hospital.
The attack has prompted a week of candle-lit vigils and demonstrations amid some soul-searching about the safety of women in Delhi and other parts of the country.
Police figures show that, in Delhi, a rape is reported on average every 18 hours and some form of sexual attack every 14 hours.
Indian novelist Arundhati Roy said rape is seen as a "matter of feudal entitlement" in many parts of the country, and the reason this case had come to light is because the woman victim belongs to the affluent middle class.
She said attitudes towards women need to change in India, because a change in the law only will protect middle class women, but "the violence against other women who are not entitled will continue".
