Say ‘NO’ to Dowry after Marriage
The phrases like "We are
against dowry, and we only want your daughter", “We will take your
daughter in one pair of clothes”, “All we want is a daughter and not
daughter-in-law,” etc. sound too good to be correct. Marriages in India follow
deeply rooted cultural beliefs and are considered a divine blessing. While
dowry has been long-standing distressing practice and also a part of the
ceremony, it’s being followed up with a little tweak these days.
Is Dowry Trend Really Changing?
Changes are unpredictable and
inevitable. Dowry is malpractice that has been followed for a long time, but
its trends are changing. Nowadays, people don’t ask for dowry the way they used
to do earlier. They don’t ask for it before marriage but after it. They pressurize the girl to ask for
financial help and support from her family. They even turn too greedy
to torture her physically, mentally, or sexually and are driven to
suicide.
Siyaswayamver Condemns Dowry Practice
Realizing the fact that you are
taking the heart and soul of a family with you would be sufficient to value
daughters-in-law. We believe that girls are the manifestation of Goddess
Lakshmi and bequeath love, happiness, and prosperity to the family. Greed will
not take you far, but love will. Treat your daughter-in-law like your daughter
to get treated like her parents.
