Anupam Mittal's Shaadi.com Introduces A Unique Twist With Its 'Dowry Calculator' Feature
Dowry has historically been a major concern in India. Despite various attempts taken to address it, the problem persists. To raise awareness about this issue, Anupam Mittal's Shaadi.com app includes a 'dowry calculator' tool. An X user known as @DoctorHussain96 recently made a post about it, and it quickly went viral.
What twist does Shaddi.com's 'Dowry Calculator' feature??
"Initially, I was shocked to see a dowry calculator on Shaadi.com. A segment of the site shows users how much they are worth in the 'dowry' stakes. When you enter details like educational qualifications and income, you are in for a surprise. Instead of showing their dowry worth, the 'calculator' shows the visitor stats about dowry deaths in India. Respect and wonderful idea @AnupamMittal," wrote @DoctorHussain96 as he discussed the app's feature. He also included a picture of the same.

"Fantastic! No one should ideally click on the 'Dowry calculator' in the portal. They should also show how many people have used the tool," commented a second user."Asking, receiving and giving dowry is a punishable offence," posted a third. Check the viral post here.
