And as long as there are parents who can afford the package, this is one social evil that will always be here. I was not suggesting a solution to the issue, but wondering aloud as to how an educated man could subject himself to this. I guess education IS over-rated.

Families that demand, families that meekly give in, a justice system that does not deliver - they're all part of the problem. If the rest of society were to hold hands, form a chain, and say "Fuck all this - we ain't giving you one stinking penny.", the feared Askers of Dowry would be reduced to nothing more than the pathetic beggars that they are. But to blame them alone for the prevailing situation is incorrect - the onus is always on the oppressed to bring change. Sad but true.
