The dowry today
While the dowry system still exists in Bangladesh
today, its function has changed some what,
becoming an unspoken mandate and being viewed
these days as something of a bargaining chip when
arranging marriages. the more educated a groom is,
the more money his family can demand as a dowry.
parents start saving for their daughters’ dowries
from birth, placing a financial burden on families of
low socio-economic backgrounds

gifts in any form are prohibited under the
following acts- Dowry Prohibition Act,

20. Conclusion:-
•Conclusion People should not attend
such marriages. Girls should refuse to
marry boys who ask for dowry. Dowry
act should be changed, accepting dowry
should be made a non- bailable crime.
It should be mandatory to Surpanch ,
talathi , corporater , NGOs to report
such cases to the police for action.
Police on their own should file
complaints against dowry takers.
