Dowry is an age-old practice of exchanging resources at the event of marriage between two families stemming from limitation of resources and human nature of control and dominance, which has ultimately led to the establishment of marriage as a financial transaction rather than a Bonafide and supportive relation. Marital Violence stems from the human vice to supress and has an anthropological basis. This paper aims to examine the History and reasons for the prevalence of these malpractices, as we see that in all parts of the world, common patterns of social vices are prevalent. However, after the Enlightenment and Feminist movements, the world has taken recognition of these women centric issues and responded with a gender-neutral approach to human rights through UN Conventions, particularly CEDAW. India has specific legislations to deal with Dowry and Marital Violence and criminal provision within the BNS to deal with Dowry Deaths. Judicial Precedents clarify questions of law in relation to these statutes making these laws more efficient in protecting the victims as well preventing misuse. There are certain implementation challenges concerning these laws such as judicial delays and lack of fund allocation, but this research paper also provides comprehensive solutions to the same.
