Dowry Calculator

A dowry calculator is a tool that estimates the value of the dowry given by the bride's family to the groom or his family before or after the wedding.

A dowry calculator typically considers factors such as the bride's and groom's backgrounds, education, income, and other socio-economic factors to calculate an estimated dowry amount.

The legality and ethics of dowry calculators vary by jurisdiction and cultural context. In many places, dowry practices are illegal, and using a calculator to determine a dowry amount could be considered unethical and discriminatory.

Dowries are controversial because they are often seen as reinforcing gender inequalities, placing financial burdens on the bride's family, and commodifying marriage.

Yes, many cultures have traditions that involve gift-giving or financial exchanges during weddings. However, these customs are often intended as gestures of goodwill and support, rather than as payments or transactions.
