The quantum and the variety that makes up the dowry is a function of the caste and the class the families belong to. Even though the woman is celebrated under these three circumstances, she has very little control over any of these.ĭuring the process of marriage, dowry involves parting of wealth from the bride’s father to the groom. Marriage often remains a glorified endogamous transactional process that takes place between two men, the bride’s father and the groom.

Pregnancy is a biological process that is aggressively glorified and encouraged by the society to ensure the continuation of the institution of family. Puberty is a natural biological process where both the girl and the society have very little say, except maybe in ensuring the girl’s nutritional intake and thereby aiding the attainment of puberty on time. One, when she reaches puberty, two, when she is marrying a man within her caste and three, when she is pregnant. Our patriarchal caste society celebrates a woman only during three circumstances. There are of course people actively experimenting and finding alternate support systems, but they only form a minuscule minority. Also, marriage and family continue to function as the primary support system for both men and women.

While we might have numerous arguments against marriage, we cannot ignore the fact that it continues to exist as a strong institution and is able to engulf young men and women inside it, irrespective of their educational status or economic freedom. Marriage as an institution is built on caste and patriarchy.
