Saas Bahu and Drama! Just as he left for Vipassana and was unavailable on calls, the tables were turned. The toughest decision of her life was staring at her, his family had finally said it out loud! She was to give Dowry to get married to him. He was completely unaware and out of reach as if some bad 90s movie plot was being played out. First money, then outright dowry demands, looks like she needed to draw some boundaries as well. Will she agree to social evil like Dowry? Or will she call off the wedding?

According to NCRB (National Crime Records Bureau) Data, 19 women were killed every day for Dowry in 2020. Dowry system prevails in India even today, often renamed as something else like "gifts for the groom's family" or "gifts for the girl" but what it really is - Harassment. Because some age-old chauvinist traditions continue in our country, it does not mean the young generation cannot put an end to it.

We urge all the Women to speak up and poot their foot down. No is a complete sentence, say NO to Dowry. We need to raise our men right and ask them to speak up against such social evils as well. It's important we take a step to change for the better and set an example for future generations.

Thank you for listening!
