A sociological study by Nalini Singh suggested that it is primarily the societal perception of woman being less productive than man that define woman's place in society. This manifests in "Zero-political Status", and denial of basic civil rights to them. Dowry is a clear affirmation of the fact that one's gender determines one's worth or significance. Since worth is distributed unequally amongst the sexes at birth, worth-deficiency amongst females can be offset by material additives that is dowry. The roots of this worth deficiency of women are so deep-rooted that even the brides who earn more than their husbands are made to feel an obligation to supply dowry goods and services along after their marriage just as are the women who earn nothing.
