Dowry system

The dowry system(যৌতুক প্রথা) is a social curse(অভিশাপ). It can be an amount of money or property that a wife or her family is forced to pay to her husband when they get married. It was a social custom in ancient time . But at present dowry has become a  social curse for our society. In this subcontinent (উপমহাদেশ) almost every family have to face this curse. A poor family having a maiden(কুমারী মেয়ে) faces a great problem due to dowry. They cannot arrange a marriage ceremony for their daughter due to the demand for dowry by the father or relatives of the bridegroom. If the parents of the bride cannot pay as per demand, the wife is tortured and even kiked out from her husband’s house by the relatives. Our young generation should be made conscious of this curse and try to wipe out (দূর করা) such a stupid system. We can do postering, canvassing, and make advertisements against this dowry system.Goverment is trying to stop this malpractice by inforcing law against those dowry hunters.  By developing the mentality of our citizens, we can get rid of this system.
