Dowry system is a curse on Women and Women has been suffering on this issue for centuries now. It was started as a financial security for Womens and to support them. Now it is a means of harrasement for Womens by In-Laws and hubbys who says" I am against dowry,but my mother believes in all this traditions"

Thanks Misty for polling on dowry system. I am not in the favour of dowry whether you take dowry or give dowry in the form of expensive gifts.
If every Women and men take the pledge against dowry, I am sure coming generation will forget the word dowry.
I take the pledge not to take or give dowry.

I am not in favour of dowry system and nor in the favour of spending lakhs of rupees in the name of marriage.

My vote will be 'No' for both the sectors.

I too am against dowry and weight power of money in marriages.

What is needed is meeting of two souls and can be done with simple ceremony and the funds can be utilized for settling the house of the married couple!

Then the saying of 'Honeymoon ke baad sab katham ho gaya" will not exist, as there will be enough funds to visit beautiful places.

I am against dowry system, either way. People who like to flaunt money give expensive gifts to their children and other people has to listen to taunts and harrasement from their In-Laws.

Yes I am in favour of this system think....

I am a girl I have the right to have share of my right from my parents and if I have been a boy then does my parents have not given me my rights in their property.

So Girls do have the right to share the property of parents.

But it should come to the name of the girl only for her uses and not a right of in-law-family.

No for dowry either way give or take. Dowry is curse for womwns as some womens has to suffer in their life time. I know one doctor from our town broke the marriage on the day of the wedding as he did not get car. He is known as "doctor who wanted car from his wife" Hardly people know him by his name,

No to dowry and spending lavishly on marriage. If everyone says no to dowry this issue will be vanished from our culture. I should not use the word culture as it is a greed for money in the name of culture.

No to dowry. Our society needs more awakening to dowry issue. Every women should be protected by law and also by the society.
Stop gossipping when girl breaks the marriage. Nobody likes to break the relationship for fun.

same on us still we have this system. There should be strict laws and there should be do not give and do not take policy. Our government should put a ban to this. Its a dreaded disease everyone hates it to the core. But still we do not have any cure for this.
