Ethical Norm — Dowry and Respect for Womanhood Statement: • Any young man who makes dowry a condition for marriage discredits himself and dishonours womanhood. Which conclusion(s) follow?

Introduction / Context:
The statement condemns demanding dowry as a condition for marriage, branding it discrediting and dishonouring. We must decide which conclusion(s) logically align with this ethical assertion.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Demanding dowry as a marriage condition is morally wrong per the statement.
• The phrasing suggests social disapproval for such conduct.
• No converse claim is made about those who do not demand dowry.

Concept / Approach:
Conclusion I (“Those who take dowry in marriage should be condemned by society.”) reasonably follows from the evaluative language “discredits” and “dishonours,” implying deserving of condemnation. Conclusion II (“Those who do not take dowry respect womanhood.”) does not necessarily follow; refraining from a wrong act does not alone guarantee full positive virtue, and the statement gives no such guarantee.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Even if many would agree with II morally, it is not a logical consequence of the given sentence; it would require additional premises about what constitutes “respect.”

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• II alone / Both: attribute a positive virtue beyond the statement.
• Either / Neither: I does follow given the normative language used.

Common Pitfalls:
Assuming contrapositive or converse in value statements without support.

Final Answer:
Only conclusion I follows
