Here are the components of psychoanalytic theory.

1) Structure of Mind
Sigmund Freud A
A model of mind with three main components is provided.

1) ID(id)
The id is the primitive and instinctive part of the mind that works on the pleasure principle, which involves immediate acquisition of desires and impulses.

2) Ego
Ego is the rational and decision making part of the mind.
Ego works between the demands of id, superego and external reality. Ego works on the reality principle.

3) superego
The superego is the moralistic part of the mind. which internalize societal norms, values ​​and moral standards.
The superego represents the individual’s conscience and ideals of the ego.

B) Preconscious
Information in the preconscious is not currently conscious but can easily be brought into awareness.

C) Unconscious

d) Dowry system

Dowry is a social problem.

Dowry is defined as property received from one’s wife or her family at the time of marriage.

The bride can be defined as the gifts and valuables received at the wedding by the groom and his relatives.

The practice depends on the following factors.

Boy service and pay

Social and economic status of the girl’s father

Educational qualification of boy and girl

A boy’s work and his salary

Beauty and features of the girl

Future Prospects of Economic Security

Family size and composition of girls and boys

A girl’s parents not only give money and gifts or the like at the time of marriage but continue to give money and gifts to her husband’s family throughout her life.

CAUSE OF DOWRY

One of the reasons for dowry is that every parent’s wish and aspiration is that her daughter marries high and into the whole family or to increase her prestige or to increase her daughter’s comfort and security.

Another reason for the existence of dowry is that dowry is given by parents

It is difficult to suddenly change this social custom of dowry

Some people give dowry only because their parents and ancestors were associated with dowry

Marrying within the same caste leads to a shortage of boys who have high jobs or good careers in business.

The boy’s parents demand a huge sum of money from the girls’ parents to accept their girl as a daughter-in-law.

Dowry is given only to show their high social and economic status.

The reason for accepting dowry is that they have to give dowry to their daughter and sisters so they look at their daughter’s dowry to fulfill the responsibility of finding husbands for their daughters.

DOWRY PROHIBITION ACT 1961

This Act was passed on 20 May 1961. According to this act, exchange of gifts above ₹2,000 is not permitted and if a person is found to be receiving or giving dowry, he will be fined.
