Killing people "may" look bad? "May"?
Hah!
Slavery used to be an "integral" part of US....
Child labour used to be an "integral" pert of the UK....
Poverty and emigration used to be an "integral" part of Ireland....
The fact that something is an 'integral part of" somewhere does not mean that it must be tolerated and that it can never be changed.
No, bride price and dowry are not the same. Bride price, often paid by the groom or his family to the bride's family, is a traditional practice in many cultures, symbolizing compensation or appreciation for the bride. In contrast, dowry refers to property or wealth that the bride's family provides to the groom or his family as part of the marriage arrangement. Both practices reflect cultural values and can vary significantly across different societies.
Dowry has a long standing and controversial presence in India. The question is assumed to be a question about dowry practices in India and claims of false dowry are not uncommon.

Obtaining good legal advice ahead of time can help avoid legal problems later on.

Generally they include cash, jewellery, electrical appliances, furniture, bedding, crockery, utensils and other household items that help the newly-wed set up her home. In Hindu marital rites it is called Kanyadaan, where 'Kanya' means the daughter and 'daan' means gift. In India the dowry system has been putting great financial burden on the daughter's family. It has been one of the reasons for families and women in India resorting to sex selection favoring to have a son. This has distorted the sex ratio in India (933 females per thousand males)and has given rise to female foeticide.The payment of a dowry has been prohibited under The 1961 Dowry Prohibition Act in Indian civil law and subsequently by Sections 304B and 498a of theIndian Penal Code (IPC). Despite the anti-dowry law in India, it is still widely and illegally practiced across the country.
