I don't agree w/this dowry thing though. If you look at it, parents are putting a
price on their daughter(s). And the girls are putting a price on themselves. Sorry to say
but it's true. You can disagree w/me however you like. They are saying is a price for raising her, etc.
It's all bull. If we do that, why don't the guy side put a price on their son(s) then?
If you think about it, they raised their son to become who he is. What if he got a really good
education, a really nice guy, etc? Why don't we put a price on that? I think its just
selfish of people to think that their daughter education or non-education is worth that
much money. And I'm a girl myself.
I don't like when parents compare their daughters to other daughters of who gets how much.
I hate that in fact. I have a friend who is jealous of her sisters and always compare
eachother of who got what and etc. They don't even like to share things. I think her
sisters got like 10K each or more not sure but she was asking for 20k. Something like that is foolish.
I on the other hand can not put a price on myself or my daughters if I had any in the
future. To me, I think it should go half way. That both side put money together so that
way they can provide a future for themselves or better yet for their wedding. Say if his side is willing to put in
10k the bride should be able to put 10k. I only think its fair.
And if their is money left over should either be given to the kids or split to both sides
or if the groom side wants to give it all to the bride family should be their choice.
I only think its fair. I do understand that your giving away your daughter but the groom
side is also giving away their son
Why don't we put a price on him too then?
I think back in the days, parents use to ask for boars, cows, cattles etc so that way they can farm.
I just think in this way, they want to make sure that the guy side is able to take care
of their daughter.
