Apparently, the dowry story is ending in favor of men!
Dowry is neither right nor wrong!
The dowry should be examined according to our cultural, historical and religious past!
The dowry belongs to that woman who eats and dresses freely and drives a six-cylinder car and is at the door of her mother’s house every morning, and her mother, aunt and aunt are responsible for her child care and housekeeping.
It does not belong to those who count every thirty-two teeth of the other party on the day of courtship in order to grab more!
The share of those who first want milk and then have children is not the same!
But the dowry is the right of that fifteen-year-old girl who married a fifty-five-year-old man without her consent and gave him four sons for three years!
The share of that woman who has faithfully sat at her husband’s feet for 40 years and has raised their children and kept the lights on in their house!
The share of a woman who has been beaten for a lifetime and has not heard her voice, and now all the tension hurts, is the same!
The share of a woman who is forced by her husband to sell herself and make the household expenses to the end of the month is also the same!
Dowry is the right of all those illiterate and voiceless women whose only refuge is the law!
Dowry is the right of all those women who are deprived of the most basic human right of not wanting a man and the right to divorce!
Women who are not even allowed to have a liver in their corners and the law has decided arbitrarily that a child who grows up with a grandmother, a neighbor’s woman, a nurse, an aunt, and a man is better than his mother!
Imprisoning men in an equal legal system is not only wrong, but also a cause of death! But in a legal system where men can use a thousand and one subtle tricks to put pressure on women with the stapler of the law so much that their hair turns the color of their teeth, it can be a solution!
I wish this way would be made clearer by intelligent and committed women, not by the law!
