A pregnant woman with serious burn injuries has been receiving treatment at Bheri Zonal Hospital. The police held her husband to clarify whether she sustained injuries accidentally or in purpose. Dr Suresh Kumar Nag said that the victim sustained burns in 90 percent of her body. When asked about what happened, she could not recall the incident.It is needless to point out that for a civilized society, along with rights, delegations of responsibilities are equally important. Narrowing down to the dowry system, it is clear that it is inherited in the social practice and expands through societal validation. Thus, a way to forbid such action may come from the society itself. An act to build civic responsibility sense could oblige people to react and respond to the illegal social practices. An act of such could hold citizens responsible for not acting in a civilized manner for the cause of human welfare, by enforcing penalization for not responding to the malpractices taking place in their neighborhoods.
