bridegroom’s family upon marriage.’
The problem of dowry has risen from past so many
years. In spite of the Laws that the Government has laid
down, no strong action is taken whenever a bride and her
parents are encircled with this demon.
A verbal contract is accepted. The groom’s family keep
demanding for all riches and wealth, and the poor parents
of the bride keep fulfilling , just for their daughter’s
happy married life and not to be missed ‘the big society.’
