Dowry is the property or money given by bride's family to the bridegrooms family. From the girl's side it is given to the male side as a present or sometimes, this will be the financial support. As a dowry some people offer valuable ornaments, utensils and clothes, other give car, house and land. This system started when the people invested to offer something as a memory while sending the daughters or sisters to other's house. They thought this could console the lady when she departs from her birth house. In Nepali society also/ this system is prevant specially, dowry system is popular in patrichaltype of traditional societies. Ladies do not have any right of getting hereditical property in such societies. In Nepal, Bara, Parsa, Rauthat, Mahotri, Sarlahi, Dhanusha, etc.districts , we get a type of custom is bad. This is a type of social evil because it can create the situation of being unmarried for the girls who are from very economically poor background. If the government of the nation make policy to provide ladies with hereditical wealth, this system will be discouraged. Males and females both play very important role for the nations development. It is said that men and women are two wheels of a cart. Without one , next will be meaningless, so I think rather than the dowry. We should provide good education to the girls. So, that their participation in different secors like politics, jobs, etc. can be increased...........
