Dowry

#MustRead

According to me, Dowry means a big amount of money paid to buy a bridegroom for a girl, to have a licensed husband. Just like we purchase vegetables from the vendor and use it according to our wish, so in that way after buying husband, a wife should use him according to her desire, but nothing happens like that. A daughter’s father betroth her to a guy with dowry in hope that he and his family will love, respect and take all care of her after marriage, but everything seems fake. She is mentally, physically and even financially harassed by her typical, down market husband and in-laws. Some families in Haryana, Punjab and many other states it is openly done which is visible, but in many places, they are internally tortured, so it gets lime lighted very rarely. In this case, what could a helpless, innocent girl can do, if she goes and makes voice against them, their rigid stone-hearted husband and his family treats like an animal and force her to commit suicide.

For this reason many daughters don’t want to marry when they observe the worse cases of women after their married life that don’t get freedom and rights to come out of the cage of their in-laws house.

Brutality of our society doesn’t end here only. Women who are not interested in marriage as they don’t want to compromise with their liberty of joy after wedding, nobody is there to support her wish, as the family feel a women life is vague without husband and children. Can anyone tell me if some are not ready for marriage then why are they forced to do so, they are educated, self-dependent and can survive on their own, so why she can’t live according to her own choice.

Now it is on us to decide whether we want a son like Kasab, Nirbhaya rapist on whom the world is ashamed of or we want daughters like, Kalpna Chawla, Lata Mangeshker, who are pride of our country. Till date a women has played pivotal role of a mother, daughter, sister and wife, so think if she gets a chance to work for the development of India she will definitely prove herself like Indira Nooyi, Isha Kocchar, Neeta Ambani, and many more who are beautiful example for our country’s pride. So, educate your daughter and let her fly in this open sky freely, who knows one day they will also make you feel proud.
