Dowry is something created by people for their benefit..as such it became a part of their tradition but has nothing to do with religion. It is mostly practiced in India by the hindus and as hindus are of the majority population in india, they have had an influence on other religions present in india such as sikhism and islam. But outside india… i suppose the only religion that practices that act is Hinduism

you know what jfrater…you are sooo so right…why do they eat fat? the old testament does not apply to christians. But what about the scripture that says “For the holy spirit and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to YOU, except these necessary things, to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication. If YOU carefully keep yourselves from these things, YOU will prosper. Good health to YOU!” Acts 15:28,29

that’s new testament aint it? if i were a christian..a real christian, a true christian…i would want to truly -and without fail- follow what the bible says! aint that why they are called Christians?

“This is a cultural practice rather than a religious one. The practice of dowry exists across India.”

Looks like they did do the research… lol

I an unusual catholic baptism 3 years ago when my 14 year old neice was baptized in a group of preteens and teens.all of the kids had to wear all white outfits,the boys had to wear white suits and the girls all had to wear white poofy,above the knees,infant style dresses with head bonnets,lace socks and patent leather shoes.the girls had to wear a cloth diaper,plastic pants and an under shirt under the dresses.they were considered infants and picked up and held to receive the water on their heads.my neice looked cute and like a baby girl for the day.

i really appreciate this comment, it is hard to make people see sense in the things that religions do because they don’t have a full understanding of it or do not want to see it as “logical”

you may see the practice as stupid or crazy, but everything a person does is for a reason and saying that following a religion blindly is not what most do. Please be considerate of the people in these religions.

all religions have a right to there own beliefs and practices. This country was created for freedom, and even though we may be wary of other practices we should not judge according to our own understanding. Who are we to make judgments of any religion because we happen to be unfamiliar with it. I do happen to be part of One of the religions stated above and i can tell you that my religion and practices i take part of because i believe in my church. It is not right to make fun of any religion, even if that was not your intended purpose. just so you know i am only sixteen years old and i have a very extensive knowledge of my religion and all of its beliefs.
