The groom tariffs are openly set on this site. Dowry is found in crores

The dowry system is one of the deepest evils rooted in India’s social evils. Despite the law fed by government and public awareness campaigns from time to time, this practice is not only maintained, but in the era of technology and internet, but it now thrives openly on digital platforms. Recently, the matter that came out on a website is not only worrying, but it shows to what extent dowry in society has been approved. The ‘rates’ of the groom is set on this site based on cabinets, occupation and age. Dowry is openly displayed as a business agreement. From IAS to the unemployed, ‘price’ was set for everyone; The value of dowry is set for unmarried youth of 17 role players on this site. This includes cast such as Brahmin, Kayastha, Bhumihar, Baniya, Reddy, Nair, Kshatriya. The price of dowry for IAS officials is indicated in crores. On average, the likelihood of getting dowry is expressed to the youth who work private. Even for unemployed youths, dowry was demanded to up to Rs 15 lakh. It is not only morally embarrassing, but is completely against the Dowry Pressage Act, in which both dowry or the category of crime falls. Political reaction and outrage on Twitter, when the congress member of parliament, Jyotiraditya Scindia, obtained information on this site, he complained directly to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and the Ministry of Women and Child Development and called it on social media. He tweeted: ‘Someone just brings this site to my attention. Immediate action against it. ‘ After the Tweet of Scindia, hundreds of people on Twitter cast their vote against this site. Many users have demanded to stop it immediately and have said that it is a crime that promotes dowry -like practice in society. What does the law say? The Dycadenary Prohibition Act, 1961, is in force to prevent dowry system in India. Below: Taking or giving dowry is illegal. If convicted, there can be a fine of up to 5 years and a fine of Rs 15,000 or dowry (which is also more). This is a serious observable offense. Despite this, such websites not only disregard the law, but also promote the part of society that considers marriage as a transaction. Through technology, the abuse of traditions is considered the source of internet in education, health and business, if used to promote such social evils, then it is the abuse of technology. Through this site, not only is a sacred institution such as marriage, but the pain of women and families has also been ignored, forcing harassment, exploitation and even suicide due to dowry. What should be the next step? Government interference: Ministry of Women and Child Development and Cyber ​​Crime Division must close this site immediately. Case filed against website owners: Strict legal action must be taken against those responsible for promoting dowry system. Monitoring on social media: To prevent such material, social media and monitoring of the website will need to be further strengthened. Public Awareness Campaign: It is necessary to spread awareness against dowry in society, especially in youth. Conclusion: In the changing world, outdated thinking today when women play a leading role in every area, even if their prize is imposed in the name of dowry, then it is a matter of thinking. Such websites are not only crime, but also ask questions about the morality of society. Marriage is a relationship – not business. Until society itself rejects the dowry, no law can eliminate it completely.
