A SHOCKING REALITY OF EDUCATION, WEALTH AND GENDER INEQUALITY
The Business Guardian
|February 14, 2025
Marriage dowry was meant to showcase the wealth and status of a family but now serves as a means for oppression.
Marriage dowry was meant to showcase the wealth and status of a family but now serves as a means for oppression. It is a gruesome practice that the world desperately wishes to eradicate. The subjugation of women and the exploitation of families cuts across all socioeconomic classes, which raises many questions. Why did this practice start, and more perplexing, why does it continue in modern society? This practice deeply resonates with the evils of education, poverty, and discrimination, and its impact can be seen throughout society. It does not matter if there is a lower, middle, or upper class. Every stratum of society is somehow impacted by this dreadful tradition. The origins of a dowry are as erratic as its practice, and that is why it remains unsolved to this day. However, attempting to solve the mystery uncovers a painful reality that is hard to bear.
