Why the uproar on social media?

As soon as this video appeared on Instagram, #ArunPanwar became the target of trolls. People are angry that this massive transaction is being justified by calling it a “tradition” or “gift.”

Legal implications: Many users reminded everyone that under the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, both giving and receiving dowry is a crime, whether you call it a “gift” or anything else.

Questions raised about the wife: Arun’s wife is a doctor. People are questioning how, despite being so educated, she can be a part of this old and regressive practice?

Sarcasm and memes: Some users jokingly wrote, “Congratulations on being sold, brother!” while others said, “You could open a showroom with that much money.” A group of supporters also came forward While there is criticism on one side, some of Arun’s fans have also come to his defense. They argue that the girl’s family gave the gift willingly and that it is part of their family tradition. According to them, if both families are happy, then outsiders shouldn’t have a problem.
