About This Trend
The Dowry Free India Mission is a social movement that aims to eradicate the practice of dowry in India.
According to The Hindu, the movement has gained momentum in recent weeks following a series of high-profile weddings where the couples refused to accept dowry. This shift in societal norms is attributed to growing awareness and education among the younger generation. According to a UN Women report, dowry is a major contributor to violence against women in India, and this movement is seen as a step towards creating a safer environment for women. A news article highlighted the story of a couple who sparked this movement.
