If we are talking about sweet rituals here.. I believe that Kanyadaan is not only a sweet but a divine and the most meaningful ritual of all rituals even above Karvachauth and Rakshabandhan.
I'm sorry Blue Ice.. I'm not a good explainer I tried and failed.. couldn't explain to you that Kanyadaan is not about "kanya" and "daan" it has an auspicious story behind it. Kanya isn't paraya dhan but is the Lakshmi of the house. Making judgments without understanding the entire context of Kanyadaan or as a matter of fact on any subject, speaks about how we are failing to have a rational discussion.
The fault is on us and how society progressed(not really) and how we are so destroyed that we see the fault in a ritual when it's us who have been corrupted.
No its not....Its derogatory and offensive..
