Dowry Law: Biased or Fair?


The Dowry system prevalent in the society has always been said to be a curse. The meaning of growth, development, modernization and education gets dims when it stills lives freely in our traditions and cultures. But the situation worsens when the law meant to protect the bride leads to the brutal consequences for the husband and his relatives.

The section 498A, have enough of the evidences showing its significant misuse by the women for their own interest. The commercial feature film “498 A- Wedding Gift” produced and directed by Suhaib Ilyasi, is the infotainment showing the lacunas of the Dowry Law.

The Veteran actors like Alok Nath, Reema Lagoo, Sushma Seth and many more are up to their best performance in the movie “498 A- Wedding Gift”. Understanding the importance of this social cause, the maestro Ghulam Ali Khan sahib has given his voice for a patriotic song in the film. The widely known singers like Shaan, Sunidhi Chauhan, Sonu Nigam has sung the different songs in the movie. The film also introduces a new singer Veena Parashar. Ray & Brotherhood has placed in harmony the amazing lyrics of the songs with the music.

Suhaib Ilyasi, who is debuting as a Director with the film “498 A- Wedding Gift”, needs no introduction. People still remember the hero of ‘India’s Most Wanted”. This time Suhaib again puts a vital question in front of the bare face of the society that is section 498 A of the Indian Penal Code fair? He wants to inform the society through his film so that the utmost urgency to bring the amendments can be felt.

People call this law to be a draconian law and the commercial feature film “498 A- Wedding Gift” enables you to make your own stand.
