Sowry is promoting dowry

S.O.W.R.Y = Son's Own Wealth Released to You
D.O.W.R.Y = Daughter's Own Wealth Released to You

Dowry is bane of our society. Though we made strict laws to curb it, a new trend has come up that has started promoting dowry instead.

Our lawmakers should address the loophole.

But what's the loophole? Anti-dowry law is a must-arrest law, meaning that all those named in a dowry complaint are arrested without investigation. Unscrupulous women misuse the law. They marry for money in the form of settlement/ alimony. Here's what they do.

Find a rich husband and marry him. Immediately after marriage, file a false dowry complaint against her husband and the husband's parents and relatives. Since the husband has never been to jail and courts, he agrees to pay money to the tune of lakhs and dissolve the marriage as demanded by the unscrupulous wife.

This cheating is spreading the message that those innocent husbands who did not demand for dowry are actually fools. They landed into a very big trouble by being against dowry. This is promoting dowry even more than ever before.

Everyday about 200 cases of dowry are reported in Delhi alone. Such fraudulent practise by unscrupulous women is leading to deterioration of our society and family values.

If you are against dowry, you must be against both sowry and dowry.

Greed sees no gender. If you let greedy people be greedy, dowry will continue.

To end dowry, first end the greediness not only of husbands' families but also of wives' families.

This requires unbiased laws to handle matrimonial disputes.
