Mangalore, Apr 13, 2012: Youth Against Dowry (YAD) launched a signature campaign against dowry immediately after the Friday prayers at Eidgah Masjid on Light House Hill Road.
YAD President Dr. Farhan Mohammed launched the campaign and said in his inaugural address that the campaign will continue in all jamaaths in the twin districts. YAD activists will visit mosques in rural areas to create awareness against dowry among Muslim youth.
He also spoke on the condition of Muslim women who do not get married just because they are unable to pay dowry and about the pitiable condition of families that went bankrupt after paying dowry.
Hundreds of Muslim youth and YAD activists promised that they will neither pay nor demand dowry on this occasion.
