dowry

To say the truth, here in India Dowry is stll being paid and asked for. Although law has been passed against this pratice and a lot of changes have come but still in a small section of the society the practice is going on

hell no, it'd be nice to even get parents to help out with the cost of the wedding, in the uS, everyone is so damn broke and most people have zero savings so it's impossible to give a "dowry".

why do u people dont accept dowry, its a gift from the man to the woman he love, and this gift here in my country egypt always goes to furnish their house and the bride contribute also in this.

It was when I married my wife in Morocco.

Dowry system is an evil, we all come forward to stop this evil.

No, here in Canada, men and wonmen are considered equal in marriage and nearly so in business, Most couples don't even ask their parents to help pay for the wedding any more. And sometimes the entire cost is paid by the groom or bride solely

In some parts of our country, the dowry system sill exists. In my society, dowry system is nonexistent. The groom, however, is expected to shoulder most of the wedding expenses. He is also expected to formally ask for permissions from the girl's parents. He and his family visit the girl's family and they discuss the wedding plans.

yes dowry system is still prevelant in our very own country. its shameful ,isn't it?

Hey i am from India!! There dowry system has not stopped completely. I mean in earlier time there was dowry everywhere, in veery caste, but now as people started taking good education and good family backgrond, and mostly peopel started keeping all those opld things away and started accepting new things in their life. So its very much reduced, but really cant say stopped completely. I wish it should soon!!

ya in most of the places in our country is suffering from this problem this system should be removed from our society only then we can get forward so this system should be removed from the whole world..
