I have participated in debates competitions, drama competitions, basketball games & fashion shows. I have earned 2 medals in shot put competitions & basketball competitions & 1 medal in debate (for the topic) & drama competitions in my school life.

Currently, I’m doing a virtual internship in a law firm Called S. Bhambri & Associates in Delhi & I’m the Student Partner in an organization called The Amikus Qriae. I have done a certificate course in ADR & Mediation.

I wrote a paper on the “Dowry System In The Indian Society” because I feel that marriage should be a two-way thing. In simpler terms, it’s basically the bride’s family is paying a certain amount of money or jewellery to the groom’s family, in order to get married. Our society is changing they don’t really ask for money directly they want many gifts & presents in the “shagun” given in the weddings. It happens in a lot of high society families as well where people are educated.

This practice has to end & women should know about their rights regarding the same. Some women are tortured by their husb& & their in- laws in order the get money from the girl’s family. In some cases, women die because of the torture they suffer. Here, in my research paper I have mentioned several laws & acts which provides remedies & legal actions against their husbands & his relatives.
