DOWRY IS SIN

Dowry is Sin. In Sasthra , Dowry is not allowed. The Dowry System came in Practice earlier days and is not followed by Persons who strictly follows Sasthras. The Following are points regarding Dowry System taken from the discourse of Shree Kanchi Maha Periyava for your information;
  • Actually the Bride groom should give Money to the Bride's Father.
  • A Bride groom should marry a Girl in his own earnings. He should conduct the Marriage Function by spending his own money. The Parents of him and the bride should not spend Money.
  • Overall, For the Total Marriage Expense, the Bridegroom should spent the Money.He should buy Dressings for himself & Bride ,he should give Dhakshinai to Prohithar who conduct marriage ritual.Other than these, there is no need to spend unnecessarily.The Money/gift can be send by relatives either by person or by post.The Bridegroom should spend money for gold - Thirumaangalyam.The Bride and her parents should not give dress,Gold ornaments,vessels,Home,Vechicle and any other things to Bridegroom.
  • If the Parents of the Bridegroom ask dowry to the parents of Bride,the Bridegroom should refuse,he should perform strike and should say to his Parents as , " If u ask dowry, I won't marry any Girl & I will live as a Brahmachary ".If Bride groom behaves like this,the parents will get convinced,and there will arise a smooth & easy way to remove Dowry from this society.
  • And, another thing, even though the Bridegroom and his parents don't ask dowry, some parents of Bride will come forward to give dowry,even in that situation also, the bridegroom should refuse that dowry.
According to Law, giving dowry and getting dowry is crime.
  • According to Sasthras ,The father of the Bride should go and ask to the Parents of Bridegroom. No dowry is given.If the Parent of Bridegroom wishes, the Bride groom should marry the Bride ,without getting dowry.
  • If the Bridegroom like a girl, the father of the Bridegroom should go and ask Bride's parents and if they wishes , the bridegroom should give two cows to the parents of bride and marry that girl.
So, Dowry is Strictly Prohibited. Avoid Dowry. Not only in Hindu Sasthra, In Islam also Dowry is strictly Prohibited.

No need to give Dowry. Marry your Soulmate, not by spending luxuriously.
Live simple and be a Sample.

Don't Forget, Dowry is SIN.

I took a Vow that,"
If I Marry, I won't get dowry,I'll Conduct My Marriage function by my own Earnings.And I wish to follow, that are said above ".

"If I am not able to follow this, I won't marry".

Are You ready to take above Vow in your Life !.
