There is a lot of casual evidence that dowries are a result of competition for social status.
Where income-earning opportunities have not eroded the value of inherited status, dowries can be expected to persist and even rise as economic opportunities for men expand.
With same age sex-ratios worsening, and fertility rates dropping, the sex ratio among marriage age –compatible people will decline. Hopefully this will easy dowry price pressures
In India, the dowry is a gift from the bride’s family to the groom’s family upon marriage. There may be additional payments expected over the course of the marriage, for example upon the birth of a child, but the major part of the dowry is paid upon marriage.
Dowry in India was historically practised only among upper caste families in Northern India (excluding the Himalayan regions), where women seek to marry men of superior rank (hypergamy). In southern India and in lower caste families in Northern India, people took spouses of equal rank (isogamy) and payment was given to the bride’s family, not the groom’s family
Dowries may be in the form of goods such as clothing or jewelry, assets such as livestock or land, or cash. In India today, cash is always given as well as a large number of consumer goods which the woman may or may not get to use herself
uppercaste Indian families used dowry while lower castes used brideprice. According to Risley, hypergamy results in the use of dowry this way: the upward flow of women through social ranks creates a surplus of would-be brides for top-ranking grooms, so that men of higher rank receive a groomprice, and a deficit of would-be brides for lower-ranking grooms, so that lower-ranking grooms pay a brideprice.
In India, the caste system is still strong. But increased economic opportunities mean that there is a wider variation in income within castes.
