on the dowry front- to be fair to the seekers, is it always such a bad thing? i think some folks do have the mind-set where they would not want to give anything to the girl. everything, including all the inheritance, is to be passed on only to the son.

dowry is different from inheritance issue but such parents who neglect their daughter on inheritance issues, then thats not fair

ok, it's clear that asking for money/ dowry after marriage is a bad thing. but what's the case against someone negotiating for it beforehand? in that sense, how's that different from negotiating a pre-nup?

just to clarify, am only raising this as devil's advocate. neither my folks nor i could be bothered with whatever the gal could ever bring in.😊

As if I doubted 😆..

See, pre-nup agreement has nothing to do with girl claiming dad's property. IYO, who decides when is the right time to negotiate?

Are we deciding that after engagement before wedding? or before engagement? or right after the girl is ready for marriage? Some gals do that in 2 days of total time. Guy comes to india, picks the top from parents' selection and that's it. When do you think is time for negotiation?
What right does that chit of a guy have to negotiate what could be the girl's dad's to begin with?

What about gals who have several years younger siblings?? Who knows the future of parents? How can she leave with her share and then if things go wrong with folks, it could be unjust to younger ones.

Girl's property right has nothing to do with greedy 🤬ers demanding money for the 🤬 Y- sperm. Simple as that.

As long as we are so proud that we had a female prime-minister, wait for property laws to justify right of women. We are too happy and proud to progress 😉.. ok, that's a joke.

and to continue playing devil's advocate, cant dowry also be seen as a way of broadening the product line? of making it a deeper, more liquid market?😆 jisko paisa chahiye, they can go for dowry. jisko ladki se matlab hai, they can go for that too. just makes it a bigger market where different types of transactions can go thru, ensuring that all females can get married, by hook or by crook.😉😆 so why the gripe against dowry? naheen dena hai toh mat doh, there''ll always be other takers in a big marketplace😆

You find it a market place .
I find it dowry system like the E-waste pick up service I called the other day to pick up my old bulky DELL monitor, and PAID to get rid of it 😉.
If I decide to give away my super cewl flat screen, I will get paid for it instead! So it is upto the girl to be paid for to get picked up or to be picked up for being nice:)
In fact, how about this? Sinve vthe property law does not protect girls, how about the FIL writes part of his property to DIL? After all, she will yank out a kid that will carry FIL's family name

PS- the opinion is harsh and does not intend to call any person e-waste. it is the system i wish to ridicule. Please no offense be taken.

But you are the one who has to put them in the market in first place... and its difficult to get exactly the response we derive from this analogy.....even if you are Ash.. right?😉
