Money can also "buy" Love. Perfect love is free.
Some may argue that such love bought with money is not true
But then the question is what really is "true" love ?, could be selfless and unselfish love I guess.
Such selfless love generally loves the whole world and is an ideal that is hard to find. It is also free.
so basically all the love we share in this world is slightly tainted one way or the other with selfishness ( to various extent)

Be practical...I don't think anyone would marry someone who has no money. I am being honest. Anyone looking for a life partner will look at the money too.
Not always, but in many cases, an educated well-employed guy gets a girl because he is earning that money. And if he is lucky, the girl turns out to be a sweet loving girl.
So, there you are - money bought him love.

As far as I can see , in the example quoted above, money may have got him a wife but its luck , that got him a loving spouse !

Yeah..it is luck...but if he were not an earning guy, even the 'luck' wouldn't have been there.
I am not a person who runs after money, but I know that 99% of arranged marriages happen because of money. And I know many of them are happy and feel they have found a loving partner. I know several couples who had arranged marriages and are completing Silver and Golden Jubilee anniversaries. Don't you think money found them love? C'mon yaar...be practical. It's not fair, but the world is like that.

Theres more than love at play there 😊

money may have got the two together but it takes more than that for love to blossom , so why give all the credit to money ? 😃
C'mon yaar...be practical. It's not fair, but the world is like that.
Hey I havent said that I m against it, being practical is good but then why do you say that its not fair ? What is not fair? Being practical and marrying someone who has achieved a certain degree of success in life ? If the person has achieved that it also indicates other qualities that may be present that would be required to achieve it . Why is it taken that the girl married for only money . Can a person who has only money and no other qualities sustain the relationship for long forget about winning any love or respect from her !
looks like a lot of misconceptions need to be cleared.

No, money is not the only factor for a girl who wants to marry. She deinitely needs a loving and understanding guy too.
But out yourself in the shoes of a girl - there are 2 guys. Both are well-educated. One guy staying with his parents and no real income. Another guy working in an MNC earning a 6-figure salary. The first guy is more fun to talk to and the second guy is a slightly serious person.
Whom would the girl choose....would she listen to her heart or brain? Even if she inclines towards her heart, her parents will get her married to the working guy.
Why i say it's not fair is that sometimes people marry for money and then dump their partners if the money is gone.

Good, so we are in agreement here.

Just because a guy is fun to talk to doesnt mean that the girl would fall for him !!!
Similarly, a serious guy isnt a turn off !!! belive me, not all girls like chatterboxes and some girls do prefer serious guys 😆
If due to parental pressure, the girl marries against her wishes how does that qualify for money buying love? Its just that her parents felt that their daughter would be more comfortable and so persuaded her to marry the guy of their choice and also perhaps because they felt that their daughter was inacapable of making her own decision. parents approval may have been influenced but theres still no indication that money succeeded in buying the girl's love !

It only goes to prove that no "love" was 'bought" inspite of money. If someone did marry with only money as a consideration then where is the love involved ? You surely cant equate greed for love !

I can't speak too much on what really happens after an arranged marriage, but I know my parents, grandparents - everyone had arranged marriages (which were arranged after looking at the groom's earning capacity only) and they all think they are the most loving couples in the world. So I guess, 'money does buy love' to some extent.

Hey I thought they would normally try to match the astrological charts first.
But yes generally most of us are all driven by money, not to show off but at least to have some security.
But some men are full of pride and they rather marry a girl whom they love rather than a girl with plenty of money. Guess it is all personal.
I wonder if there is any lady who is rich, average looking and yet unable to get a husband. It cannot be as money is a prime motivator in many ways unless ofcourse the the woman has a weird character, which would be a great turn off.😆

Do men without pride marry for money then ? 😕
The rich dowry expected from a rich woman would tempt many men . The weird character would be discovered much later 😆
