    Dowry Death in Assam: a Sociological Analysis

    MSSV JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES VOL. 1 N0. 2 [ISSN 2455-7706] DOWRY DEATH IN ASSAM: A SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS Rubaiya Muzib Alumnus, Department of Sociology Mahapurusha Srimanta Sankaradeva Viswavidyalaya Abstract - Dowry is a transfer of parental property at the marriage of a daughter. The word ‘Dowry’ means the property and money that a bride brings to her husband’s house at the time of her marriage. It is a practice which is widespread in the Indian society. Assam is a state of North East India where different ethnic groups are living together and the problem of dowry is evident in this state. In the last few years’ dowry death is regular news of Assam. The dowry is given as a gift or as compensation. This paper tries to analyze the main societal impacts on ancient Indian society, analyzing the influence of the ancient text of Manu, pre- colonial, post-Aryan, and post-British thought. Through this practice of dowry many women lost their lives and bride burning is becoming a serious issue of Assam. To remove the evil effects of dowry, The Dowry Prohibition Act, in force since 1st July 1961, was passed with the purpose of prohibiting the demanding, giving and taking of dowry. But there are many people who are still unaware about this fact. In considering the evil effects of dowry; this paper is an attempt to study dowry death in Assam. In addition, this paper focuses on the laws related to dowry. This study has been conducted on the basis of secondary sources. The paper continues to analyse the problem of dowry in Assam today, and attempts to measure its current effects and implications on the state and its people.

It is a diverse state in terms of its topography, which is dominated by the Aravali hills, the oldest mountain range of the world, and Thar Desert, which covers around 61% of its land area. Tourists are attracted to Rajasthan because of its rich cultural and traditional heritage, which is still preserved in several forts and palaces as well as its colorful and rustic inhabitants. The southern part of Rajasthan is mainly divided into five districts: Udaipur, Banswara, Dungarpur, Chittorgarh and Rajsamand. Rajsamand was part of Udaipur district until it acquired an independent status after the population census of 1991.

    Fiji – Indo-Fijians – Muslim Marriages – Nikah

    Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: FJI30941 Country: Fiji Date: 27 November 2006 Keywords: Fiji – Indo-Fijians – Muslim marriages – Nikah This response was prepared by the Country Research Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Questions 1. Is it a common cultural practice for couples in arranged marriages to see each other first before the respective families traditionally seal the marriage? 2. What is the significance of a legal wedding vis-a-vis a traditional Nikah wedding in the Indo Fijian Muslim context? 3. Is the traditional Nikah wedding always conducted at the girl’s place – following the custom that the boy should permanently take the girl from her place to his? 4. Is it likely for the engagement to take place in Fiji and the wedding in Australia away from the bride’s family? 5. Is it likely the wedding to take place at a relative’s house away from the girl’s family? 6. Is it usual, in the absence of any compelling or case specific reasons, for an Indo Fijian Muslim woman who has never married before to marry a man who was previously divorced? RESPONSE No systematic study of marriage practices among Indo-Fijian Muslims was found. The information presented below on arranged marriages among Indo-Fijian Muslims is limited principally to two sources dating from 1993.

  • Punjabi Sanatam Dharam Wedding

    Punjabi Sanatam Dharam Wedding

    Some common surnames: Malhotra Chawla Wadhwa Singh Kapoor Khanna Dhawan Arora Punjabi Sanatam Dharam Wedding INTRODUCTION TO A TYPICAL NORTH INDIAN WEDDING The North Indian community is known for having lavish festivals and weddings. Their wedding preparations begin well in advance and the ‘sangeet’ parties have become elaborate occasions lasting almost for a week sometimes! The bridegroom generally mounts a richly caparisoned mare and his ‘baraat’ (procession) is replete with a live band; relatives and friends accompanying him sing and dance all the way to the wedding venue! Families exchange lavish gifts all throughout the marriage ceremonies. Their weddings are usually held in hotels or banquet halls and in cities like New Delhi huge ‘shamianas’ (decorative tents) are erected in parks to host the wedding ceremonies and quite often, the reception. PANJABI SANATAN DHARAM WEDDING 1. ROKNA OR THAKA: Acceptance of the alliance In the olden days most North Indian weddings were practically arranged by the local barber. He would be responsible for gathering details of the family, namely the background, the financial status and above all the ‘gotra’ or ancestory. Once the families were in agreement a small ceremony called the ‘shagun’ or ‘rokna’ or ‘thaka’ would be held in the presence of very close relatives, where as a token the elders would exchange a small amount of Rs. 1.25! ‘Rokna’ is an important part of the North Indian wedding although the ‘shagun’ now could be any amount of money – instead of the customary Rs. 1.25, which was so common in the olden days. Requirements: 11,21.31,or 51 Sweet Boxes Dry Fruits Cash gifts for groom Seasonal fruits Clothes for the groom 2.
