Bride burning and dowry may look bad, but are an integral part of India.

Hi friends,

I am fully against bride burning and dowry because there is a reason behind it. Suppose, in a family there is three boys and one girl and their father has a property of about 20 lakhs then if we divided his property, girl will have a part of 5 lakh from his fathers wealth but the boys's family asked for 20 lakhs that is the whole property of his father's wealth so in result the relationship breaks.

I think dowry system should be banned in India.

Thank you.

Bridegrooms treated as ATM machines. Unless boy has higher salary, and huge property no women will marry the boy. First question during proposal asked by women parents how much salary boy is getting and how much property boy has. Boy is in on H1B visa.

When taking dowry is wrong, selecting boy based on money equally wrong. Why same women not taking the property from her parents. Show me many women said to husband, saying that wife will share in loan as wife also staying in home.

How many said, wife said rent will be shared and as well as food. Men are not getting any thing from any one free. How much dowry will be given, is it more than boy's property and salary. Remember also men also doing house work.

For the women, job is optional, property is also optional. Who is saying against dowry, first stop this discrimination. See the stress men facing.

Hi friends,

In my view dowry system is a caused to a society. Why because it is to reduce our relationships? But in present days most of people to entrusted on dowry.

Men who doesn't have backbone asks dowry. Why, can't they earn of their own? The women are like burden to men now-a-days. You may know that, in olden days parents used to kill girls because they are considered as a burden since they have to give dowry. Actually men have to be killed for asking dowry not women. Dowry has to be banned.

Hi friends,

I also agree that dowry is integral part of India like olden days, in these days also 50% of people don't wants daughter because of dowry. People think daughters are burden because of dowry. So I think so dowry should be strictly band, because god has given you 2 hands, 2 legs and a mind. So use it and don't ask for dowry.

Hi friends.

According to me when a girl leaves her parents home and goes to a new house, she has lots of dreams which one can see through the brightness of her eyes. In the return of those dreams her parents have to expend their hard earned money without thinking about their old age when that money can help them in many ways but groom and his parents think not even for a single moment about them they just need to fulfill their future demands which they complete by pushing other family's future to dark.

Only bride's parents can understand the pain of sending their daughter to a new home. If one demands dowry before marriage there are very rare chances that girl will be happy in that house. So it is also a job of parents to look a groom who can keep their daughter always happy. And yes dowry should never be taken and given. If one can't understand it just keep yourself in place of that girl's parent.

Hi friends,

In many Indian families woman are burned by their in-laws if girls parents refused for giving dowry. This should not happen. According to me strict rules should be made for the people who ask for dowry, so before demanding dowry people should think twice.

Thank you.

In many parts of India people ask for dowry and the poor people who can't give dowry they are always in worry and they do the marriage of their daughter in wrong and illegal ways. So dowry's demand should not be happen then the crime will be reduced. And people will celebrate their happiness for daughter as they do for son's.

Thank you.

Hi!Everyone.

Gone through the whole discussion and what I have analysed is that we are only discussing the social problem 'Dowry' which is already prevailing in our society. We are talking about what happened in the past and what is happening at present with the groom and bridegroom. I think we all are here to take out some positive solutions for our children so, that atleast we and they should not suffer in future (what is gone is gone).

Whether it is a girl's family or boy's family both have gone through the same phases and hardships in bringing up the child. If girl's parents had saved their hard-earn money for their daughter then same is done by the boy's parents too. Yes, today society has changed girls are equally educated as boys, both can earn good for their living. But as parents we too have responsibilities and love towards our children. I feel that both the parents desires and dream for the beautiful life of their children after marriage.

Both the parents must teach the lessons of adjustments, patience and co-operation to their children for their married life. Both the parents should equally be present for their children like financial, physical and moral support. We cannot expect our children to start their new life all by themselves and for new life they really need finance. Why not lets both the parents give finance equally instead of putting the burdon on girls parents. Couple can choose to live seperately or with any parents by their choice. AS parents are responsible for the well-being of both the children, same way children must take care of both the parents equally.

Thank you.

For what shake dowry will be given? Let us compare man and woman education, salary, property, height and handsome/beauty.

How many women will marry boy without asking boy's above things that to women look high in everything?

Problem lies with women and women selfish expectations men start you too look for every thing equally. Let me bare 50% finance responsibilities. Many men doing house work too.
