Anti-Dowry Movement

The Anti-Dowry Movement advocates against the practice of demanding or giving dowry, which is money or gifts exchanged during a marriage. Dowry often leads to financial burden, harassment, and violence against women, contributing to their social and physical harm. The movement aims to raise awareness, promote legal action, and change societal attitudes to eliminate this unfair tradition. Laws like the Dowry Prohibition Act in India support this effort. Overall, the movement seeks to ensure marriage is based on mutual consent and love, free from exploitation and payable demands.
