ABSTRACT
In India, dowry death is one of the most heinous or horrible problem. There have been laws and acts enacted and incorporated into the country's legal system, as well as campaigns and awareness programmes launched by government and non-government organizations to combat dowry deaths and the dowry system in India, but despite the presence of such initiatives, the country's statistics on dowryrelated deaths have only increased. Despite the rapid growth of the middle-class society and youth population, steps toward modernization, enormous privileged economic development, improved education system, and so on, there are still some grey areas where the country lacks growth, one of which is the prevalent Dowry System and related concerns.
This research paper has attempted to examine and evaluate legal provisions that have been adapted and adopted by the Indian Legal System in order to reduce the annoyance of Dowry Deaths, to identify loopholes, and to improve the legal system and society in general, as well as to highlight available remedies and how to further augment such remedies to benefit the genuinely aggrieved party.
Keywords: Dowry System, dowry death, government programs.
