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.
