    Dowry system is patronised by feminist organisations, Ministry of women and also women's commissions, since without prevalence of dowry they will lose their importance. Moreover dowry is used as a carrot at the time of marriage and as a stick when there is marital discord. If all men decide to drive out their women from their houses one day, which women's organisation/police/court will be able to file false case u/s 498A and send men and their relatives to jail? The women's organisations are testing patience of men knowing they are not united yet. This dowry culture is woman made and sponsored by women only, which every one should realise. Voluntary gifts given during marriage by bride and her relatives do not get converted to dowry as long as the couple remains in peace and this reality is not unknown to the police who arrests men and to the judges who send them to jail

    Education.

    half of the people don't know that it's illegal.

    And the girl's parents should be strong enough to say know.
