Abstract This comprehensive study critically examines the Dowry Prohibition Act of 1961, a pivotal legislative measure aimed at addressing the pervasive issue of dowry in India. The research analyzes the Act's legal provisions and enforcement mechanisms within the contemporary social dynamics, acknowledging the emergence of new challenges associated with dowry practices. Delving into the historical context and socio-cultural factors contributing to the persistence of dowry, the study evaluates the Act's strengths and weaknesses, considering its effectiveness in tackling this intricate issue. Furthermore, the analysis takes into account the evolving social landscape of India, including shifting marriage dynamics, economic changes, and cultural influences, to assess the Act's applicability in the present context. In light of the findings, the study proposes strategic amendments to enhance the Dowry Prohibition Act, aiming to align it with the changing socio-cultural milieu and strengthen its capacity to prevent and combat dowry-related offenses.
