INTRODUCTION

• A dowry is the money, goods, or estate that a woman brings to her husband in marriage. It contrasts with bride price, which is paid to the bride's parents, and dower, which is property settled on the bride herself by the groom at the time of marriage. The same culture may simultaneously practice both dowry and bride price. Dowry is an ancient custom

Intro( cont…..)

• The purpose of a dowry was to provide "seed money" or property for the establishment of a new household, to help a husband feed and protect his family, and to give the wife and children some support if he were to die. A husband thus had certain property rights in his wife's dowry.

OBJECTIVE

• PERCEPTION ABOUT DOWRY

• DOWRY IS RIGHT OR WRONG?

• TODAY YOUTH WANT DOWRY IN THEIR WEDDING?

LITERATURE REVIEW

• The dowry system is so deeply rooted in Indian culture, that sometimes one feels that there's going to be no way out - at least not for another century. Even modern, well-educated families start saving up money for their daughter's dowry as soon as she is born, so what can one expect from the uneducated masses, whose only form of education is tradition.

LITERATURE REVIEW(cont….)• Dowry is an evil, evil system and all of us, at

some level, condone it and even contribute to it. Often the boys parents don't demand dowry, but our culture is such that we feel we must give something to the in-laws. In such cases, give as much as you receive. When you go out of your way because you are the parents of the girl, you are contributing to this evil.
