Dowry and Adharma

[Guest guest]

Per the recent discussion dowry itself is being portrayed as evil

just as our politicians have been doing back in India. However

looking into our history, dowry was established as a system by which

immovable property was inherited by the sons and movable property of

an equal value was given to the daughters. The amount of dowry was

decided by the bride's father and the system worked in bygone days

when dharma was prevalent. What we see today is the consequence of

greed and Adharma. That issue has to be address at its root by

surrender to Sriman Narayana. Without that evil in some form or

another will prevail.
