Government Interventions Required
Despite the Act, everyday dowry cases are reported. So government needs to take
some concrete steps to eradicate this evil completely from the society.
• More and more awareness programmes for enlightening the people should
be conducted especially in rural areas. People should be encouraged to
spend money on a daughter’s education rather than on dowry demands.
• New schemes for women education, empowerment and jobs should be
introduced.
• Severe punishments for dowry abuse need to be introduced.
Conclusion
The Government cannot succeed if people are not willing to bring a change. We
make the society and so we have to take a stand against dowry. Fathers and women
all across the country should refuse to fulfil any demands made by the groom’s family
and men need to tell their families that they do not need dowry to feed them! Let’s
join hands and say no to Dowry!
