Groom Need Dowry Or Wife???

"BRAVO" to dat Girl...,

 

the marriage would have been over by now. you came across this story of your friend or from your friend OK. bemoaning the fact that the girl hooked willy-nilly to a family who are seemed to be eternally greedy and insatiable and you are shocked to realise that there are still uncivilized people in 2017 living in this part of the world will not help the situation. you can wish her life to be happy but it will not be. Her parents are already in eternal debts and greedy hubby and or his parents will try to extract more and more and make life of their DIL miserable. She should be adviced to put her foot down and say firmly on day one to in laws, that they should not demand anything more and if they harass her or her parents, she would lodge complaint to the police. if she remains muted and submit to their will, her life would be doomed.

 

True. Every parent when they give the daughter in marriage thinks "it is a privilege for my daughter if she goes with lot of jewels and money etc" . but truth is these all will not bring respect to a woman but her own self esteem and an understanding husband will only fetch respect for a woman in long run. Thus IAM not saying for this particular girl , I am saying this as a woman and about the society for all.

 

True. But something tells me , the demands from groom side will be stopped after marriage. Hope it becomes true. Best wishes to the girl

 

OK Sister Sindhu you have a hitch! I wish to join you in wishing her and her in laws all the best to happen through her (?!) Darling hubby (DH)
God Bless Us All. Regards.

 

In England it began as Law, sometime in 16th or 17th centaury, called Primogeniture that eldest (son) of the offspring would bequeath the parents property, assets tangible and intangible. In India, the practice began unasked to giving family heirlooms, gifts jewels and money and or real estate some 300 years ago from bride's side for the prospective groom and bride. this continued until sometime without negotiation. The law of the land (in India) regarding bequeathing property after the demise of parents possessing wealth, demanded equal distribution of wealth left among the male off-springs. therefore the practice of gifting the girl (unemployed housewives) and groom came into vogue - at the time of their wedlock; were given by her parents happily - a part of that wealth. recently, the Indian Law stands amended to the effect that all children of the departed parent(s) would have equal entitlement of their Parent(s) wealth including the surviving spouse. With this change in Law and legal backing, complexion of dowry panorama should be viewed. thanks and Regards.
God Bless Us All.

 

Don't mind me asking..What's the girls stand in all this? Is she ready to be with a person and family who treats her like a commodity and not a human with flesh and mind of her own? We can understand the girls family's stand. They are afraid of social stigma that comes with calling of an engagement/ marriage. But the lady can take a stand I feel as it is she who has to live her life with money hungry people. How long can her parents keep on sufficing her greedy in-laws demands? What if tomorrow they couldn't? Will the girl spend her whole life wailing? She needs to take a call whether to budge or stay strong. If she takes a decision head strong, society may talk Ill for a few days but it's certainly better than a life traumatising risk.
