The practice of dowry presents a serious danger to women's lives. Dowry is a term used in Indian culture to describe property or valued security provided by one party to the other as a kind of marital payment. The gift of the wife's family or herself with the aim of assisting the husband was the primary source of dowry. The practice of dowry dates back to the Middle Ages. During her marriage, women were given money and jewels by their parents, which functioned as a weapon of economic freedom for the bride even after her marriage. Almost all violence against a married person stems from this threat. The issue of dowry will almost always emerge after a marriage. If the woman is unable to give all that her husband and in-laws need, life at the groom's home becomes unbearable. She will be treated brutally, and she may lose her life in certain instances.
