Even after the strict laws created by the government, the tradition of dowry is still prevalent in our society.
Most of the times, the parents of bride succumb under the pressure of society and agree to all the dowry demands of the groom’s family. But, a rare incident took place in Uttar Pradesh, that gives us hope about our society changing mindset.
As per the tweet shared by ANI, Groom’s head was tonsured allegedly because he had his family made dowry demands 5 days before the wedding.
[ifh_news_form]Based on the report shared by NDTV, the groom wanted a motorcycle and when the family of the bride gave him one, he refused to take it. He didn’t like the brand and demanded another motorcycle of his choice.
After family gave him the bike of his choice, he demanded a gold necklace on the wedding day, which bride’s family couldn’t fulfill.

The bride’s grandmother shared with news agency ANI:
“They made these demands five days before the wedding. He refused to marry the girl after we said we can’t meet his demands. Don’t know who tonsured his head”
The bride’s family called the police and filed a complaint against the groom as well as the family members.
This news did bring a smile on the faces of people who have been trying their level best to make our society dowry-free. It makes us believe that stories like these will change the people demanding dowry and build a new narrative around dowry.
We believe the person seeking dowry is not better than a beggar, and one should never marry their daughters to such people.
