The dowry system has been prevailing in India since ancient times. In the name of dowry, some people tend to take more than just durable goods and stridhan. Due to this, dowry is considered a financial burden on the family of the bride. In some cases, it even gives rise to crimes against women — starting from injury, emotional abuse, and sometimes even death.
This is the reason why dowry has been restricted under specific Indian laws, including the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, and is also banned under Sections 498A and 304B of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
