Dowry
Recently someone asked me how much is the dowry my family is giving.
A tragedy that I wasnt shocked. Or was I calmly rejoicing when I replied that we dont give dowries.
The dowry system is still prevelent but I think on a downslide.
Most gals work and are very clear on what kind of guy they want.
But have the guys caught up?
Sadly ... No. Ive come across a number of guys who insist on dowry. Their parents shamelessly ask it upfront.
Some what it in kind and some want it in cash. Most insist that the dowry should be given before the wedding.
Ive come across guys who boast that they got such n such amount for dowry. Are these guys out of their minds? Id love to show them their true worth. Apart from being good husband material (doubtful), I dont see anything speacial in any of the guys. Why not give the same amount to the gal. She'll make better use of it.
Or still better why dont the gals parents use it. This is the age they should enjoy each others and live a peaceful life. Spending it on themselves is the best way to use the hard earned money.
