Indian marriage is full of tradition and deep-rooted cultural beliefs. In some cases, we will reinterpret it to adapt to changing times through verbal communication practices. However, there is a habit of resisting change: dowry system
In India, it began in the Middle Ages and her family made a cash or kind gift to the bride to maintain independence after marriage. In the colonial era, it became the only legal marriage method, British mandated dowry. As the economy booms, India's current trends encourage to raise the prices of brides of all socio-economic classes. However, as the price of the bride rises, violence against women is increasing.
Dowry violence is usually promised by a husband or parents-in-law to bring out a higher dowry from a bride's family. The price of the dowry paid at the time of marriage may be high, but the husband and the obligation of in-law may grow after marriage. This is often converted to physical, mental or sexual violence against the bride. The scope of violence included pouring kerosene into her to keep her alive using genitalia or chest razors. In some cases, women are forced to commit suicide
The dowry in India has been banned since 1961, but the ban was a mandatory challenge. According to the 1986 legal amendment, it was stipulated that death or violence during the first seven years of marriage is related to dowry. The reality is that most dowry violence incidents have not been reported.
The tendency of dowry in India varies from country to country. Over the past few decades, people have observed the transition from bride's price system to dowry system. There, wealth flows from the groom to the bride's family, and wealth flows in the opposite direction. According to the survey, the southern Indian region has traditionally adopted the bride price system even in the upper class. In the north, the social differences in marriage lead to the upper class dowry system, but at a lower level the price of the bride will become more common.
The dowry system is India's embracing problem, which is a cause of great confusion and embarrassment in our society. Dowry is a language system in which the parents of a bride (girl) pay a large sum of money, expensive gifts, jewelry to bride, bridegroom (boys) and their parents during marriage. Dowry is usually obvious request. Legelly, Indian dowry is a banned practice, but it is still burning, in the pressure of homicide and dowry is in the bride of India.

Due to the "donation prohibition" in 1961, dowry has become officially illegal in India, but many families of all social classes continue practicing today's dowry.
