My understanding of Second Line of Inquiry

 2nd Line of Inquiry: Embedded Practices in Society



The concept of "embedded practices in societies" refers to customs, behaviors, and beliefs which are deep-rooted in communities and cultures. These practices are long-standing, widely accepted and often unconscious. 



Dowry as an Embedded Practice:


  • The dowry system is a long-standing tradition in south Asian societies.

  • This problem isn't limited to a single case; it's a systematic issue within marriages and families.

  • Families have exchanged dowries for generations, making it a common practice.

  • Social pressure keeps the system going, with families feeling the need to give a dowry to maintain their status or help their daughter marry.

  • Some families expect to receive a dowry as a form of security or payment.
