Life has become a business!

Taking dowry is a crime, giving it is a crime according to the law. But, the attitude that taking it according to social customs is not a crime, and giving it is not a crime is widespread. Even for a ‘vetty officer’ groom, the girl’s family has to ‘cry’ with jewelry, money, and things. After giving all this, they have to ‘pray’, ‘take good care of my daughter’. To that extent, life itself has become a business.
 According to the National Crime Records Bureau’s 2021 report, 13,534 dowry cases have been registered in India. Despite the registration of cases under the Dowry Prohibition Act, the crimes have not reduced.
 The number of deaths caused by dowry is highest in the Indian capital, Delhi. According to the National Crime Records Bureau, the total dowry cases in 2022 were 6,450.  In India, 20 women die every day due to dowry violence. Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, and Rajasthan are in the top five states in the dowry problem.
Despite all the awareness, dowry violence is increasing day by day. They boast about the gold and other items they get through dowry to their relatives. According to the police, dowry has now become an issue of honor, which leads to various mishaps.
 Many women end their lives without realizing that they are still alive, unable to cope with the dowry pressures of their husband's family.
Recently, the Tiruppur Rithanya dowry case shook Tamil Nadu. The young woman's suicide has left shockwaves that have not subsided. It is said that the Ottiyanam worn by Rithanya alone was worth 50 sovereign of gold.  Despite giving a dowry of nearly 300 sovereign of gold, the dissatisfied mother-in-law was also a reason for the woman's death.
 There may be a thousand problems. But life is only one. If you miss the bus, you can travel by train, but you should not think that the journey is over. You should build a new life. You should believe that this life will be good. Because life is hope. In today's times, love marriage seems to be the way to end the cruelty of dowry.
 Even though the means of travel may be different, there should be an effort to reach the destination, is the statement of the psychological experts who deal with such problems.
 The most valuable thing in this world is life energy. Everyone is not only born to live... but also born to rule!
