Abstract
One of the ingrained social evils that has impeded women's everyday life is dower, sometimes referred to as dahej. A significant problem for both society and women is that dower has become the standard. Numerous defenseless women have been killed, crippled, and forced to commit suicide as a result of the dowry system's wickedness. On the Indian subcontinent, dower is the most ancient social ill. It has developed into a horrible societal disorder that is deeply ingrained in people's DNA. A lot of people view dowries as a sign of social status and self-awareness. "Any young man, who makes dowry a condition to marriage, discredits his education and his country and dishonors womanhood," as Mahatma Gandhi once stated. Examining the drawbacks of the dower system and its effects in India is the primary objective.
