Curse of Dowry
Some people are still dissatisfied when they have a girl, even though this mindset has altered dramatically over recent decades. The main reason for this is because of the dowry. When a girl gets married, her groom’s family usually expects money, property, or household items to finish the ceremony.
The groom’s family may be forced to buy a car, a home, or even a plot of land! If the dowry is beyond their means, the family may be unable to get their daughter married.
