Abstract :
Dowry, which is also known as Dahej, refers to any property or other valuable security that one party in a marriage gives or agrees to give to another party in the marriage. It is one of the ingrained social problems that has become a major problem to women’s daily lives as well as society. The dowry system is the pernicious thing that has killed and rendered countless vulnerable women helpless, driving some of them to commit suicide. The dowry is the oldest social ailment in the Indian subcontinent. It has developed into a severe societal disorder that is entrenched deeply inside people. Many people see dowry as a sign of social status and self- recognition.
One of India's most horrifying or terrible pressing issues is Dowry Death. There have been laws passed and incorporated into the country's legal system, as well as campaigns and awareness programmes launched by governmental and non-governmental organisations against dowry deaths and the dowry system in India, but despite the existence of such initiatives, the statistics on dowry-related deaths in the nation have only risen.
