There is already a law existing against dowry (Dowry prohibition act ).I dont know how far it functions.

It functions only if the victims register a formal complaint but most of the parties do not want to do that, they simply pay the dowry as asked for if they are lucky, that is all they have to shell out. If not they have to spend better parts of their lifetime paying the ransom and even maybe lose a daughter to 'sudden' accidents or such! :blink:

I think you are lucky enough to get such families who doesn't demand dowry. Because its only a minority which should change.

The reason was that the couple - my sister and my brother-in-law indeed wanted to marry each other. It was like love at first sight where money didn't play any role. And one of my sisters has a love marriage and money has no place in love marriage :lol: :lol:

But even in love marriages they demand dowry as Ushaji has mentioned above.

For them Money is more important than love, you should not call it love marriage but compromise. As boys some times go as per the wishes of their parents or boys want to have cakes in both hands.

Rightly said. They want to have cake in both their hands.

There should be strict law against this and every boy and girl have to take oath not to take any dowry.

The time is coming when they would chase dowry seekers back to their homes without bride. It has started in our area where people asking for dowry were sent back homeor handed over to police.

And most of the victims do not make a complaint either because they want to show others that they can afford it or because they themselves are waiting for a chance to demand dowry. I once happened to meet a lady from Bihar . She said that her family had paid a large amount of money as dowry during her marriage. A year later when her own brother was about to get married, her family had in turn demanded dowry from the would be bride's family!!

Nothing works like a firm NO
Unless people would learn to say no, nothing is going to help them. Marriage is a two way traffic- no girl agreeing to marry 'dowry seeker' only can finish it up.

These people are so shameless that they demand and accept dowry. All people should say No to dowry. Otherwise this is not going to end.
