Though Bangladesh is a poor country, it has a harmful system in the society -- dowry. It is considered as a social curse in our poor country. But it has become a common phenomenon in our matrimonial life.

Every day at the time of reading newspaper we see that, many families are suffering only for dowry. There are many married women getting divorced or committing suicide or are killed by their husbands. Thus many innocent lives are falling victim to this curse. For this removing the dowry system from our society is very essential now.

So as a conscious citizen, I request our government to remove this all devouring system from our country thorough legal action.
