| Abstract: | Bridewealth and dowry are distinct concepts associated with the exchange of property or goods within the institution of marriage. While marriage holds universal significance across societies, its cultural practices and implications vary. It not only signifies the union between the bride and groom but also symbolizes an alliance between their respective families and kinship groups. Many societies, especially in India, have systems intended to redistribute wealth through marriage, facilitating alliances through the exchange of goods, services, money, or property etc . Despite being implicated in social issues, it is regarded as a substantial element of alliance under kinship studies. Even anthropological understanding has drawn dowry and bridewealth as symbols of the officialization of marriage.The significant works of many sociologists and anthropologists like Goody and Tambiah , social anthropologist John Beattie have immensely shown the significance of dowry and bridewealth in terms of reciprocity in societies. This paper is an attempt to study the functional significance of dowry and bridewealth as a conjugal and circulating fund beyond the contemporary social issues . |
