The answer is Unconstitutional, as its purpose is spiritual rather than secular. (APEX)
Answer:Although the practice of giving or paying a dowry is many Centuries old, it is still practiced in many countries.
As an example, India has introduced a law banning the practice of paying a Dowry for several reasons. These include the financial strain on the bride's family as well as violence against the bride by the husband that occurs frequently when the Dowry is seen as insubstantial.
Another example is that Turkey reportedly has a domestic violence rate, (caused purely for reasons of the husband being unhappy at the Dowry), at a rate of 500 victims a year… obviously all new bride's.
Despite being an ancient custom across Europe, East Asia & South East Asia, The Middle East, Africa and North America, the custom has developed an unsavory view due to the violence it has caused to women worldwide. I hope that has answered your question satisfactory.
One more thing to consider is the Human Rights Charter, Dowries would definitely be seen as inhumane towards women as women are not an item that should be bought or sold!
Equal rights to all people regardless of gender, race and religious beliefs, or financial situation, is my personal belief. I am no better than you and vice versa. We all need oxygen and water, food and shelter plus love from our families and friends!
Explanation:
The size of South Asia is 5,221,093 km², while its population is 1,891,454,121 as of 2018.
The size of the United States is 9,833,520 km², while it has a population of 327,167,434 as of 2018.
We can see that the South Asia region is smaller in size than the United States, but still it has much larger population, more than five times larger.
This makes the South Asia region being also much more densely populated than the United States, with South Asia having 362.3 people per square km, while the United States having 32.8 people per square km, with the density being more than eleven times bigger.
