Dowry has been defined as that property which is obtained from the parents of the bride by the groom or his parents under duress, coercion, or pressure. It thus, can hardly be classified as gifts willingly made to the bride and bridegroom. The problem of dowery is related to women. it is being increasingly felt that women will be able to free themselves from all social and economic dependence as soon as they are economically independent. The present book is an attempt in the direction of providing systematic empirical evidence: wheter economic independence can solve the problem of dowry. An attempt has been made in this book to investigate the differences of attitudes between the working and non-working women towards dowry. The book is immensly useful for the student of social sciences and law.

This exciting new volume debunks overly simplistic conceptions of Dowry. Taking a variety of theoretical and active approaches, this work bridges the gap between today's prevailing theory and practice, whilst taking South Asian women's own experiences as a starting point to any discussion. Bringing a unique diversity of perspectives from leading academics and activists, this book opens up the term "Dowry" to undertake a study of its role in various communities across the world from the practice of "mehr" among Muslim societies, the role of the dowry in Bangladesh, and its position in the wider diasporic populations globally. The groundbreaking, multidisciplinary book is essential reading for students, policymakers, practitioners and activists alike.

One sultry night, a young bride overhears an extraordinary conversation. The voices speak of a plot to murder a wife who has failed to produce a child and whose family has failed to produce the promised dowry. . . Megha is sick with horror when she realizes she is the intended victim. Her husband--the very man who tied the sacred necklace of marriage around her neck--and his mother are plotting to kill her! In the moment of panic, she runs for her life. Frantically racing through Palgaum's deserted streets, her way lit only by the lights strung up for the Diwali festival, her single goal is to escape death by fire. But fleeing from her would-be killers seems impossible--unless she can find someone to help her. . . To approach her best friend would bring scandal to an innocent woman's doorstep, and turning to her own strict, conservative family is out of the question. Instead, with nothing but the sari she wears and a memory of kindness, Megha finds her way to Kiran, the one man who has shown her friendship and respect. Hiding her in his apartment, Kiran becomes her protector. But the forbidden attraction that grows between them can only bring more danger. . . Caught between tradition and the truths buried in her heart, a dowry bride will discover the real cost of the only things worth having in life. . . "Packed with detail. . .splendidly depicts passion, brutality, and cultures in conflict." --Dorothy Garlock

The practice of dowry in modern India epitomizes the gulf between the ideal and the real. Stridhan or dakshina were gifts traditionally given at marriage to ensure the well-being of the bride in her new home. In its modern form, however, the demand for dowry has led to brides being tortured and even killed. The socialization of young girls into deference to parents-in-law and husband has spawned a 'culture of silence' that leaves them open to harassment. Despite preventive litigation, dowry remains a widespread 'social evil' - a marker of social status - more common, disturbingly, among the educated urban middle classes than among urban poor or rural population. While caste restrictions on the choice of marriage partners seem to have eased, socio-economic factors have gained in significance. Dowry is also making inroads into communities that did not follow the practice traditionally. Understanding the tenacity of dowry is a step towards ending an exploitative practice.

Social systems in the East are under pressure from Western culture and technology. Inevitably, they must rise to the challenge or go under, with all of the upheaval and unrest that that would entail.The author, as a Sri Lankan living in Denmark with intimate experience of Western culture, is naturally concerned about developments in his own country. There the dowry is the lynchpin of the social system. In a fascinating exposition, he delves into its origins, its social purposes and the way in which it works as he searches for answers to the dilemma of inevitably impending change.He captures the flavour of the role of the marriage broker of old, and wryly notes the usurpation of his role by classified advertisements and the Internet. He outlines the significance of the caste system for the old ways and explores the impact of modern thinking on it. Then he boldly attempts a synthesis of the old and the new that will both preserve a heritage that he loves and enable it to weather the storms ahead.
