I Don’t Want Dowry - A Top People’s Web Site

Posted on September 7, 2006
Filed Under People's Web 2.0 |

We Dont’t Want Dowry is an Indian site that brings together people who are looking for marriage but don’t want to involve themselves in traditional dowry arrangements.

The site owners say their aim is eventually “to eradicate the Dowry system which is a thousand years old setback in the society.” I Don’t Want Dowry is a free site. Great to see how otehr cultures are adapting new technology to help solve old problems.

I got to the site through Webyantra.net, a great site for a look into Indian web 2.0 developments.

    A great move against the crook culture. Lets welcome such moves. Also I have learnt from the website that its organizing Swayamvaram for those non net savvy people.
    One can have more details about this event at http://www.idontwantdowry.com/swayamvaram
