Detailed Solution

The given statement is false. Dowry is the money or gifts that the bride's family gives to the groom when they get married. Often, dowry demands stay even after a couple gets married. If the bride can't meet the demands, she is hurt physically or mentally, and in the worst cases, she dies. In 1961, the government passed a law against dowries. This Act made it illegal to give or receive dowry. The Act says that anyone caught giving or taking dowry can go to jail and pay a fine. The Dowry Prohibition Act is an Indian law that was passed on May 1, 1961, to stop people from giving or getting dowries. Under the Dowry Prohibition Act, dowry is any property, goods, or money given by either party to the marriage, the parents of either party or anyone else in connection with the marriage.
The correct statement is the Dowry Prohibition Act was passed in 1961.
