Answer By Lawyer : The dowry system in India[1] refers to the durable goods, cash, and real or movable property that the bride's family gives to the bridegroom, his parents, or his relatives as a condition of the marriage.[2] It is essentially in the nature of a payment in cash or some kind of gifts given to the bridegroom's family along with the bride and includes cash, jewellery, electrical appliances, furniture, bedding, crockery, utensils and other household items that help the newlyweds set up their home.[3] Dowry is referred to as Jahez in Arabic (derived from Islamic jahez-e-fatimi).[4] In far eastern parts of India, dowry is called Aaunnpot.[5]

The dowry system is thought to put great financial burden on the bride's family.[6] In some cases, the dowry system leads to crime against women, ranging from emotional abuse and injury to even deaths.[7] The payment of dowry has long been prohibited under specific Indian laws including the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 and subsequently by Sections 304B and 498A[8] of the Indian Penal Code.
