Well it is said that Marriages are made in heaven but i think that this does not hold true any more. In India after marriage, A bride has to leave the parental home for her matrimonial home, leaving behind all her sweet and sour memories and the good and the bad times that she had with her parents, friends, neighbours, etc. with a hope that she will see a new world full of love in her groom's house. She does not leave behind only only her beautiful memories, but also her surname, gotra and maidenhood. She expects not only to be a daughter in law, but a daughter in fact. Alas! The alarming rise in the number of cases involving harassment to the newly wed girls for dowry shatters the dreams. In-laws are characterized to be outlaws for perpetrating a terrorism which destroys matrimonial home. The terrorist is dowry, and it is spreading tentacles in every possible direction.
