Answer:
The correct answer is - it is a social problem that leads to gender-based violence, social violence, and biased towards male children.
Explanation:
Dowry is the giving money or expensive items for taking the bride to the house of the husband or in-laws. This becomes evil for the bride and her family as it causes social violence on the females if they can not fulfill the demands.
Due to the Dowry system, the bride and her family have to go through mental pressure and violence to complete uncesassory demand. Due to this bride gets beaten and harrassed or humiliated, burned.
Seeing such things people started to prefer boy chid as they will bring money that leads to killing the female child or biased toward the male child. Thus, it is a social problem as the whole society is affected and responsible for this.
