This article should so stupid, Dowry has been outlawed in India since almost Independence, more then sixty years back, its all corruption and mostly the politicians who let this menus get so big in the first place. This is a problem that is not going to leave so simply in many life times. Old habits die hard, plus the fact that no one really wants dowry to be eradicated. When you have nearly 1.2 Billion people naturally there will be some abuse.

The Central Committee member of Communist Party of India (M), Subashini Ali stressed the need for eradicating the social evil of ‘dowry' from the society.
Addressing an anti-dowry regional level conference here on Sunday she said that the government should come forward to enforce strictly the anti-dowry law for the benefit of unmarried women from the poor and downtrodden.
The government should come forward to appoint adequate officials and give them certain powers to enforce anti-dowry provisions strictly in the society. All the marriages irrespective of caste and religion should properly be registered. The expense incurred in connection with conducting marriage should be shared by the parents of bride and bride-groom, so that unnecessary quarrels would not erupt in future, she said.
Various social and non-governmental organisations should come forward to create awareness among the people on equality. Gone were the days when the women confined themselves within kitchen. Now they excelled in all field on par with the men, Ms. Ali added.
She urged the women to come forward to conduct series of agitation against the prevailing dowry system in the society.
