Abolition of Dowry System

Manthan Foundation plays a critical role in advocating for the abolition of the dowry system, which is a deeply entrenched social evil. Through their programs, the Trust works towards raising awareness, promoting legal reforms, and empowering women to fight against this harmful practice. The abolition of the dowry system is vital to achieving gender equality and protecting women from exploitation and violence. The Trust’s initiatives focus on both preventive measures and support for victims of dowry-related issues.

Key Objectives:

  • Raise awareness of the legal provisions under the Dowry Prohibition Act.
  • Promote the idea of dowry-free marriages based on mutual respect and equality.
  • Educate both men and women about the social and economic costs of dowry.

The campaigns foster a mindset shift in society, encouraging younger generations to reject the dowry system and embrace modern values of equality.
