| 520 | |a Marriage gifts form an integral part of modern marriage system, (in the form of dowry). The kany? continues to be given away but her role is subsumed by the property she carries with her to the marital family. As a result she is reduced to a conduit. The shift in status of the daughter as a 'super gift' to a vehicle that facilitates dowry custom has closely and significantly affected the status of women in contemporary Indian society. This is practised by everyone regardless of class or religion. Dowry has spread all over India and its wider ramifications are visible in the spate of cases of bride-burning, suicides and harassment. This paper will discuss the position of the daughter in the exchange while taking into account the laws that have been laid down to protect women. Lastly the reaction generated by human rights activists in trying to address the problems of dowry will be discussed. | ||
