Wow, i missed this. very good article shared here. :cheer: :)
My marriage occurred without giving any dowry.I feel this is a big crime.Taking dowry is considered a crime but according to me giving dowry is the biggest crime.
Now a days dowry has become the status of the family, though the bridegroom family has alot of money in crores, then also they are demanding money in huge from bride. This is really an injustice thing. Some people if they have 3 sons, then they keeps a rule that first person I mean the bride of first son should give them more money as dowry so that same amount they can demand from other brides in their family. If they wont demand for first one then they feel that they wont get their demanded money from the next 2 brides.

Really injustice this dowry system.
Actually, problem with such families (having 3 boys only) can never understand a girl's mind or the difficulties of her parents. They can't even tolerate even if promised money can't be given at given time. They even forget what they have got.
Perhaps they may be thinking, girl can't eat free food from sasural.
I am not yet married yet. But, as of now me and my parents decided not get any dowry for my marriage. :)
great to hear this vinodh. Your parents are very kind . :) :)
Actually, if bride decide not to take dowry, nothing on earth can stop him.
I never feel bad for giving girls also something. It's their blessings to keep the future of their daughter more secure. They may be giving their sons also. But demanding dowry, I can't withstand :angry: :angry: :angry:
