Dowry-The evil financial transation.

Hai all,
    Irespective of caste, creed, directions north, south, east and west of the country prevails the evil dowry system.
   
    In one or other way brides suffer from the dowry system even many years after their marriage.

    Marriage which is meant for joining two lives as become a decent platform of yielding dowry to bridegrooms and their family.

    The anti-dowry laws in India were enacted in 1961 wherein both parties to the dowry—the families of the husband and wife—are criminalised.

    The laws themselves have done nothing to halt dowry transactions and the violence that is often associated with them.

    Police and the courts are notorious for turning a blind eye to cases of violence against women and dowry associated deaths.

    It was not until 1983 that domestic violence became punishable by law.

    With modern society considering marriage as a financial transaction, www.idontwantdowry.com brings youths with broad mindedness and genuine behavior on a single platform.

    It has been said that unless each individual has set his or her mind against thesocial evil dowry, it is quite difficult to eradicate it from the society.

   www.Idontwantdowry.com welcomes such individual and has already registered some few thousand youths who opposes dowry culture in the society.
