Would Dowry make me a slave in Marriage

The book,"Would Dowry make me a slave in marriage", is about the payment of dowry by grooms to the bride's parents instead of the parents giving their daughters dowry to their husbands. In pretence that they are protecting the integrity and effimnancy of thegirl child.It went a long way to reveal the result of the research carried out by the author and outrightly condemn such practices. It also unfolded the biblical concept of the marriage from the creation to the despensation of the pathriarch. Social and economic implication of dowry are also examined. The position of the church in the propagation of the cankerworm is notleft out.
