No  dowry among  Bishnupriya Manipuris
Our selfish worst-case scenario is today's dowry system. According to Bishnupriya Manipuri norms and scriptures , there is a divine bond between husband and wife. It is said that the wife is the friend of her husband, created by God Himself
Stri Daivakrita Sakha,
On the other hand the husband is the God of the wife
Deib tanghi Poti Striya :. Dē'iba tanhi pōti striẏā
According to the Hindu scriptures, marriage is the sacred bond between a woman and a man. It is the union of two selves. But here is the obstacle of the dowry. Hundreds of women have been victims of this system, and today hundreds of women are committing suicide. If we can follow the ideal of divine love or the walker, it will stop and there will be only peace and happiness in all areas of life.

most readers will not understand the cultural and religious issues/rituals you discuss, so i wish that you had gone into more depth to explain why the system is so bad for women, why it is causing mass suicide, and what can and should be done to make it better.
