Farahnaz Farooq Ahmed:
People seek different means to earn. Similarly, the marriage system has become a mean of business for the male’s families. It is very well-established that the so-called system of dowry is still alive in countries like Pakistan. Thus, while fixing a marriage the male’s family demands whatever they want in dowry and the female’s family has to fullfill it at any cost. Likely, the male’s family earns whatever they wish for. However, the males who pressurize for dowry, enjoy at last but the poor parents of females worry from where to bring the high dowry. This uncivilized system of dowry which has made marriage a business and sucked the blood of poor parents needs to be brought to an end. The first thing to be done in order stop this malpractice is to grow awareness among all. Movement against dowry system should declare right now. One can get rid of this social vice by taking social reformative works urgently. Farahnaz Farooq Ahmed
