October 09,2017: Dowrey and domestic violence have gripped the society in their evil vice once again as wedding season is back in kashmir valley. The practise of dowry not only breaks the family of the bride financially, often by trapping them into a cycle of debt but also sends a wrong message to the society, putting immense social pressure and burden on the poorer sections to copy the rich in the practise of giving elaborate dowry and spending unreasonable sums on the wedding feast. If the rich have money to spare, they should instead give it to the poor and needy . We should also think its our own people who we are demanding dowry from and our own who we subject to torture and abuse for dowry. We also appeal to anybody who is abused for dowry, to bring the matter to public notice and Himalayan Welfare Organization-HWO legal team will try to provide all possible free legal help to them. We also appeal to people involved with the legal system to help develop a strong anti-dowry law and help foster an envirinment of confidence in the legal system among victims in the state.
