Hi, need to submit a 1750 words essay on the topic History of Dowry in Sociological Prospectus.

It has become a common exercise in the modern age too even after so many organizations and NGOs working to protect the women rights and to fight against the Dowry System. The society and human behavior decide the customs in the life course. Sociology deeply studies all the aspects of human’s behavior, irrespective of the fact that whether it is wrong or right and when two persons or families communicate with each others, they come under the social institutions and marriage is a fundamental part of this. In addition, after the marriage, two persons become a family, which is a multi functional institution in all the societies (Birodkar 1994). In each of the society, there are different customs and doings in the functions of wedding done by the families of bride and groom, but one thing, which is common in most of the weddings, is the trend of Dowry. Dowry is a dreadful and unethical practice.&nbsp. It is not a practice for which there is religious sanction, but it continues to be practiced in many countries of the world today. The practice of taking dowry is more common in the South Asian countries like India, Pakistan, etc. demand of dowry from the family of groom, is simply a burden on the parents of bride (Kishwar 2005). If we say this is common among the illiterate or uneducated people, we will be wrong because even the educated people own this system with pride. The people have made this system a symbol of their status to show others. A number of marriage-negotiations break down if there is no consensus between the bride's and groom’s families. Dowry deaths of a newly married bride are still regularly in the news. Many studies use to tell us that the dowry system is much more in practice in the rural areas as compare to the urban areas of any country. This practice has been in use from many years as the history of human is. This system has also been encouraged by the society around us and it can be seen in the Sociological prospective (Shenk 2005). Why groom’s parents’ demand dowry? A concept is that the parents of groom spent a lot of their money in bringing up their son and according to the parents of groom, they demand that amount from the parents of bride which they have spent in upbringing their son and educating him (Afzal 2). “Another finding is that the dowry paid has a negative intercept, when no wet land owned by husband as well as no secondary education husband father is completed” (Afzal 8). Sociological Aspects of Dowry For the sociological understanding of the dowry system and the right of women, the social institutions should be kept in mind. These social institutions include. class, caste, family and kinship of both of the families. Each society plays a vital and essential role in making a custom in their area and thus the dowry system has also been highly influenced by the society. The different phrases of history have made different changes in the status of a woman’s life and dowry system. In this Socio Historical Perspective, the history has changed three faces as. Ancient age Medieval age And the Modern age. All these times have changed the system of a society and each passing period gave an authentic lesson. All the sociological aspects give us different context under the history of human, the one of those perspectives introduce historical periods as a temporal sequence of contextual regimes that regulate life courses.
