DOWRY: EVIL AND PERILOUS
Dowry- Evil and Perilous
Who hasn’t heard of ‘dowry?’
Where money is charged from the bride’s family,
Some of them call it a culture,
A ritual, proud enough to be nurtured!
It’s a shame for the society,
Where the girl is tormented,
With this matter since times immemorial,
Reformers have been offended.
A price in lieu of bringing up a boy
All over these years,
The girl is totally devastated
And always in the shackles of fear.
Proud are the parents of the son,
Who torment the girl’s family,
The girl is exploited until her death,
At last, abandoned to live lonely.
Stop dowry! Stop the sins!
Stop the girls from dying,
Catch those red- handed who promise,
But eventually end up, lying.
My daughter- in-law, shall be my girl,
Promise some of the treacherous families,
Dowry is a social evil
Born out of narrow mentalities!
