Thiruvananthapuram: The fast against dowry is being organized by various organizations at Gandhi Bhavan, Thycaud, Thiruvananthapuram.

 

Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad Khan began a fast on Wednesday aimed at creating awareness against giving and accepting dowry.

 

The fast against dowry is being organized by various organizations at Gandhi Bhavan, Thycaud, Thiruvananthapuram.

 

The Governor, who is fasting at the Raj Bhavan from 8 am to 6 pm, will join the protest at Gandhi Bhavan between 4.30 to 6 pm today. Earlier on Tuesday, Kerala Governor said that the spectre of dowry continues to raise its ugly head in our state, which has been globally acclaimed for enviable social indicators like literacy and life expectancy.

 

"Our beloved state of Kerala was recently in the news for a tragic death because of dowry. It is said that the spectre of dowry continues to raise its ugly head in our state, which has been globally acclaimed for enviable social indicators like literacy and life expectancy. Mahatma Gandhi has said any young man who makes dowry a condition to marriage discredits his education and his country and dishonors womanhood," said the Governor.

 

He further said that the 'Sthreepaksha Keralam' initiative of the government of Kerala also emphasizes the need to ensure the dignity of our women by saying no to dowry and related practices.

 

"Giving and taking dowry are criminal offenses which attract imprisonment up to five years. More than that, it is a grave injustice and ignominy to the dignity of women whose contributions to Kerala's growth are widely acknowledged. Respect for women is an ideal that elevates the society to noble levels of social welfare, as advised by our scriptures," he said.

 

He also urged the younger population to come forward to boldly say no to a marriage that involves dowry. It will go a long way in creating greater awareness and ensuring gender equality and social justice. We don't want a dowry; he added.
