Dowry has long been a prevalent issue in India. Though numerous steps have been taken to curb it, the problem remains. To highlight this issue more and make people aware about it, Anupam Mittal’s Shaadi.com has a ‘dowry calculator’ feature on its app. An X user, who goes the name @DoctorHussain96 recently highlighted about it and his post went viral. Snapshot of the dowry calculator app. “Initially, I was shocked to see a dowry calculator on Shaadi.com. A segment of the site shows users how much they are worth in the ‘dowry’ stakes. When you enter details like educational qualifications and income, you are in for a surprise. Instead of showing their dowry worth, the ‘calculator’ shows the visitor stats about dowry deaths in India. Respect and wonderful idea @AnupamMittal,” wrote @DoctorHussain96 as he shared about the feature on the app. He also added a picture of the same.

All accounts should require a signed affidavit saying they won’t accept dowry in any form.” “Fantastic! No one should ideally click on the ‘Dowry calculator’ in the portal. They should also show how many people have used the tool,” commented a third. “Asking, receiving and giving dowry is a punishable offence,” posted a fourth.
