Dowry is an age-old tradition that must be changed. It is seen as a status symbol; the more dowry is given, the higher the position in society.

Though banned for over 60 years, the dowry system is still widespread. Until families start making changes in their own homes, nothing will change. Children observe these customs and naturally continue them when they get older.

In 2017, there were nearly 7,000 deaths linked with dowry, according to the National Crime Records Bureau. In 2020, Nearly seven thousand cases were reported. Many go unreported.

In the past five years, 66 dowry deaths have been reported, and 15,143 cases of harassment over dowry have been registered in Kerala.

The dowry system is widely prevalent in rural as well as urban India, although the law makes it illegal to do it. It continues nevertheless. Marriage is no longer about two individuals, but about the monetary gain that a family receives at the time of the marriage of their son.

Lets SAY NO TO DOWRY
Let THEM LIVE
