Dowry
The dowry system is the most contemptible as well as abused custom in our society. This heinous system is corroding the moral fabric of society. It has created never-ending troubles. It has become one of the major reasons of suicide of a large number women. Starting off with the best of intentions, it has now degenerated into a money making scheme, making despicable both the giver and the taker of dowry. There is no provision of dowry in Islamic rules.
Multifarious social ailments like wide-spread corruption, moral degeneration, intention to be rich overnight, dependence of women on their male-counterpart are some of the factors functioning behind this social malady. It should be banished once and for all.
