Continuation of Dowry Demand in India
In many states of India, the demand for dowry still persists, despite it being illegal to both give and take dowry. Especially in Bihar, weddings are not finalized until the demands of the groom’s family are met, even if the bride is educated and working. Parents also often fulfill every demand made by the groom’s family.
Change in Mindset
However, there has been a shift in mindset for some individuals over time. A video from Mithilanchal was shared on social media, where a groom demanded a bike as part of the dowry after the Jaimala ceremony. The girl’s father responded to this demand in a viral video, showcasing a different approach to dowry demands.
Public Reaction
The incident, where the groom was beaten with a slipper by the girl’s father, was shared on social media and received praise for the father’s actions. Many people commended the father’s response and suggested that every girl’s father should stand up against dowry demands. While some believed it to be a staged act, the video garnered millions of views and sparked discussions on social media platforms.
