Some theories propose that dowry is a source of security for women in society. However, these are not wholly accurate because in many cases:
 
  a. Dowry is symbolic only.
  b. The amount of dowry is too small to serve such a function.
  c. Women do not retain control over their own dowries.
  d. Dowry is actually used to pay debts owed to non-relatives.
  e. Dowry is likely to cause jealousy and hence ill treatment by the husband's family.
