Answer:

Dowry.

Explanation:

Dowry is the customary practice of giving material goods like gold, cash or immovable property during marriages. These goods are given to the bridegroom by the bride, as a form of payment or as a condition for marriage.

This dowry system was outlawed in 1961 by Indian laws, but this practice was still continued by most of the people even today. This may have been in practice for so many years but the financial burden that the parents of the bride had to suffer was also a disadvantage. And due to the immense amount of demands for the dowry, it also led to multiple cases of domestic violence. This practice is more prominent in the Northern states of India, especially among the Hindus.
