An photograph of a page from a book describes the "merits and advantages" of the dowry system in a disturbing post that has now gone viral. The textbook was written by TK Indrani and is based on the Indian Nursing Council syllabus. According to the first argument, "dowry is useful in establishing new families with furniture, appliances such as refrigerators, and automobiles." It further claims that as a result of the system, parents have begun to educate their daughters in order to provide less dowry.
