I just read about that horrific Noida case where a husband literally burned his wife alive over dowry demands. I can't even wrap my head around this. In 2025, when we talk about AI, space tech, start-ups, and modern lifestyles... we are still stuck with people who think marriage is about cash, gifts, and property?
Like, what is wrong with today's youth? Aren't we supposed to be more educated, more aware, more "progressive"? Instead, we are hearing about young men turning into monsters because their "expectations" weren't met. It's not just about dowry, it's about this toxic mindset that treats women as objects, as transactions, not human beings.
It honestly makes me sick. What is the point of degrees, jobs, Instagram reels, and all this talk about "modern India" if at home, people are still carrying forward such outdated, dangerous thinking?
And the bigger question, where are we as a society moving? Families are raising sons who think dowry is their birthright. Daughters are told to adjust, compromise, or stay silent. Everyone just ignores until it is too late. Then one headline shakes us, and we move on.
This is not just about stricter laws (though we badly need better enforcement), it is about changing mindsets from the ground up. Otherwise, we will keep seeing "Noida dowry case" today, "Delhi dowry case" tomorrow, and nothing will actually change.
I am honestly heartbroken and angry 💔 What do you guys think? How do we even begin to fix such a deep-rooted sickness in our society?
