Q.4. Recently the headline, ‘Girl Refuses Marriage As Boy’s Parents Demand Dowry’, caught your attention. This bold step by a girl is a lesson for greedy boys and their parents. Write an article in about 80 words on the topic, ‘Dowry, a curse’. 8
Ans. Dowry, A Curse
It is most unfortunate that a stigma like the Dowry System is still prevalent in our country. But on the brighter side girls are now standing up boldly to teach a lesson to the greedy boys and their parents. Recently a girl refused to get married as the boy’s parents were demanding dowry. This is one novel way of freeing the modern society of the social stigma of dowry system. We have to get together and stand up boldly so as to teach a lesson of a lifetime to the greedy dowry-seekers.
