Curse of Dowry
While the attitude toward daughters has substantially altered throughout the last few decades, some families are still unhappy when they have a daughter. The main reason for this is because of dowry payments. When a girl is married off, the groom’s family requests money, property, or other household goods to complete the ceremony.
The bride’s family might be required to buy a vehicle, a home, or even a piece of property as part of the marriage! If a family cannot afford to pay the dowry, probably, their daughter will not be able to marry.
