Once again, a heated debate has erupted on social media regarding the dowry system. This time it is not about any ordinary person, but about the famous YouTuber Arun Panwar, who has more than 24 thousand subscribers. After some videos related to his marriage surfaced, he became embroiled in a dowry controversy and was severely attacked. It is claimed in the video that went viral that during the marriage, around Rs 71 lakh in cash and 21 tolas of gold were given to Arun Panwar as a ‘donation’, which people associate with dowry.

This marriage took place at the end of 2025, but the videos are now becoming increasingly viral on social media at the beginning of 2026. After that, users started raising questions that when taking and giving dowry are two crimes under the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 in India, how can it be justified by calling it ‘donation’. The special thing is that Arun Panwar’s monthly income from his YouTube channel itself is said to be between Rs 20-25 lakh. In such a situation, people are getting angry due to the seizure of such huge amount of money and gold.
