Dowry seems to be a very recent, European influenced custom. I was reading Arrian's Indica - here is how ancient Hindu women were married:

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->They marry <b>neither giving anything nor receiving anything</b>; such girls as are marriageable their fathers bring out and allow anyone who proves victorious in wrestling or boxing or running or shows pre-eminence in any other manly pursuit to choose among them. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

This is in-line with stories in our epics.
