I am really proud to be as a Bangladeshi citizen. Bangladesh is a small country. But it has a large population.
We have many things that give it us mental peace. On the other hand, there are some problem in Bangladesh. Dowry System is one of them. Though it is reduced day by day but still it is a key factor in middle class family when they think about their daughter's marriage.
Now I want to share with you about dowry System.
Dowry means transferring wealth in any form from the bride’s family to the groom’s. It is a way to showcase love and care and help the newly wedded couple start their journey without any difficulty. But with time, it has found different meanings, and as a result, young girls around the nation suffer from various crimes and domestic violence.
The Dowry system has been in our country since ever, and even after the legal intervention, it is getting harder to eradicate it for so long. The simple process of transfer of poverty has become a deep-rooted problem for our society. And many tough girls and their families have to go through hardship every time in our country.
Dowry is a punishable crime in our nation. To protect young girls from various dowry-related injustice, reports against dowry are given priority. But most crimes are never reported, the domestic violence is at an increasing rate. The lack of proper education and awareness is a major reason for these increasing crimes. Many young girls are even pushed to the face of death for dowry.
In Bangladesh it's very problematic factor for lower middle class family and middle class family when they I want their daughter's marriage in good family.
But actually they are not good.
We have to to get rid of from this problem. It's really a curse for a society.
First of all, the awareness about advarse effect of dowry system must be spread among the people. The government should take some strict step to stop this curse. Though there are some law against dowry but these are not applied strictly.
Really we want to get rid of from this curse.
