What is the role of government in relation to dowry?

On February 8, 2012, in Public policy, by Sanjeev Sabhlok

Extract from FB:

AS What do you guys think of dowry? Some people say it has to be banned, I want to know the views of people here.

Sanjeev Sabhlok A, I'm personally not a proponent of this custom, but realise that it has economic implications for families, and I prefer to treat it is a social problem, which means social reformers should deal with it. No state laws can be imposed. If someone is harmed, standard civil/criminal laws should deal with it.
