<P> The dowry system in India refers to the durable goods , cash , and real or movable property that the bride 's family gives to the bridegroom , his parents , or his relatives as a condition of the marriage . Dowry stemmed from India 's skewed inheritance laws , and the Hindu Succession Act needed to be amended to stop the routine disinheritance of daughters . Dowry is essentially in the nature of a payment in cash or some kind of gifts given to the bridegroom 's family along with the bride and includes cash , jewellery , electrical appliances , furniture , bedding , crockery , utensils and other household items that help the newlyweds set up their home . Dowry is referred to as Jahez in Arabic ( derived from Islamic jahez - e-fatimi ) . In far eastern parts of India , dowry is called Aaunnpot . </P>
