dowry system in nepal We all live in society and we are mutually benefices from it. We had made accomplishments with the traditions and cultures but because of our superstitious beliefs and ignorance we ourselves are creating the problems. The problems are none other than the by-product of the superstitious beliefs and customs. Among those problems dowry system is one of the main root problems prevalent in the Nepalese society. In Nepal, it has become compulsion to send a huge amount of dowry in daughter’s marriage. Now it’s not a choice but an imposition from grooms’ family. The bridegroom’s family is made under duress to send a huge dowry. None matter whether the families are rich or not they must give dowry in their daughter’s marriage either by selling their house or by taking loan. It is said that the one who brings more dowry becomes more respectable so the bridegroom’s family sent a large amount of dowry but the families don’t know that they are trying to cook goat’s kid in goat’s milk. Similarly, We Nepalese people are over ambitious in nature. We want more and more so we are never satisfied. And dowry is like sea water, the more we drink the thirstier we become. So as we get dowry we want more and more. This results trouble to the bride. The bride is torture to bring more dowries. The amount of dowry turns out to be a nightmare for the bride. Some amount of dowry becomes a burden of troubles for whole the life. Likewise, the poor families face a lot of financial hardship. The poor families are compelled to give more dowry than they can. For that they take loan, sell their properties. After the marriage they will be covered by a dark shadow of loan which they could never remove. They become poorer. They tried to give happiness to their daughter but they themselves fall over dirty mud. Because of this system many families do suicide every year. Due to this system many women are burnt alive and killed for not bringing dowry. The women are torture by their in-laws. The women are prostituted and are compelled to do anti- social activities. Day by day the women violence is increasing and it starts right through their in-law families. This system has adversely affected the status of women. The reason for backwardness is none other than the dowry system. However, the families can give a small memento to their daughters because daughters want something from their birth giving parents and caring families. The daughters can keep the memento whole their life and it will be very special for them. They will be happy to recall the memories. The small memento will not hamper the happiness of women and they will not be torture for not bringing dowry. To sum up dowry is a very bad custom prevailing in the Nepalese society. The Nepalese are cooking some excuses for not to abolish this system. This system should be completely abolished and this should be done rightly from our families.
