Marriage without dowry

One of my friend didnt even take a single rupee as dowry. His wife came with the dress she wore that it. He only purchased everything and he only invested everything for the marriage also. such kind of people will be very less on this earth

Sarala,
what about your community? What's its importance?
Is it strict or just as you wish?

No one asks for it in our community. If some one wants to make gifts with his/her own will that's ok.

In our community, it's almost a common phenomenon to ask dowry and fixing marriages according to it, at the time of meeting itself. Even my marriage happened so. I think it is very common in our state as love marriages are only a few. May be because people have become over-educated!!!!!

It used to be demand cases earlier now girls have taken to professions so they dare not ask for money as dowry. Girls are earning big amount to keep them happy.

My husband's cousin...he has more than 6 feet height. He rejected many girls only for the sake of his height. But later married a girl of just 5 feet , only because she was earning 25000 rupees per month. She was not that much good looking and height only till his waist. Yet money says it all!!!!!! Aunty gave us an excuse, "Both are working. So they won't get enough time to go outside together. Even if they go together, she can put on high heel shoes, no problem"...ha ha.
Am not complaining the girl. What am saying is, money is the only basis of all marriages...even applicable for highly educated and earning males. Just a few days before, this boy(actually my class mate)......while family was searching for his bride, I said, "Marry a girl which suits you best of good character". I was really surprised with his reply, "Good girl...who wants??? I just want a lot of money!!!!!" I was really shocked hearing his reply

I am not sure as my daughter earns about 27k per day in Indian currency and SIL about 30K they both are working in Australia and money never came in between although I spent 9L and they also spent almost same.

Sandhya about the person whom i have said just now is from a muslim community and pakka muslim. but in my community, they take dowry very badly. They even demand as if they have stored money in our houses. But there some people like me also who does not care about money. such people say they don't need dowry and some people say its your wish to give dowry how much you want but you need to pay but there is no fixed number. But most of the people demand and they feel marriage as business

In our community also, we never demand only this is our own will how much we want o spend on marriages. We give gifts to children not in cash.

That makes bad image on marriages.
Even my marriage, they asked 2 lakhs for marriage expenses and house furnishing...which was a big amount before 7 years. My father had to run a lot to get a loan for my marriage and I was in big tension seeing all these. Actually, the broker did it, as he hid the money requirement till we family met and we two liked each other . It's their trade secret, I think so:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Even i never like to dowry marriage. I want to have the marriage with out dowry but when i said this to my parents they said that by the time such person you get, you will become old so i agreed with them. Now people are demanding10 to 20 lakhs as dowry.When they demand i feel very bad sometimes i feel like slapping them and say i should a daughter in law should give you money, why you want to rob others in the name of dowry. But what to do, i cannot due to my parents

I didnot give any dowry for my marriage. the great escape na

Wow sagaymary that great to know that your marriage is without dowry

Nowadays most of the parents and girl/boy who only looks for a working person and parents things that if both are working then they can easily run their family. But, i wont accept this.. :blink:

Even more dowry is given for bride/groom who is earning more. I have seen on many cases. :pinch:

ou mean you would like to marry a non working girl. That is also a good idea because many girls are not working or do not like to work.
