We talk about the Dowry System or Dahej Partha in this episode. This is a practice found mostly among Hindus in North and Western India where a sum of money or valuable goods are given to the groom’s family as consideration for marriage. However, it is also prevalent among Muslims here due to customary reasons, although it is not allowed in Islam. It can be directly compared with the bride price system which was prevalent earlier in India. The dowry system in India has led to many crimes such as Bride Burning, Dowry Murder, Dowry Suicides and physical, emotional and sexual abuse of women. Although there is no historical evidence as to the presence of dowry system in Ancient India some texts note its occasional following among brahmins. After discussing the history we go into the economic and social reasons behind dowry and try to find out a way out of this social evil. Tune in for more.
