Though there is no dowry system prevalent in Assam, the parent of every girl desires to give something to the girl during her marriage. The parents, irrespective of their social and economic status dream to bestow their child with love, blessings and gifts. But for many, these dreams remain unfulfilled due to their economic weakness.
