U TOOK ME ABSOLUTELY WRONG,Suresh. I never ever said it's only for guys, because i know more girls /girls' parents than guys who insist on giving dowry just to SHOW OFF their financial status. I have some examples in My fathers family - My cousin was getting married and the guy said he doesn't need a 'chilli kaasu', but my aunty insisted on giving the dowry....just to show off ! the result now is that the guy has got a major ego problem with his in-laws. he still feels that he was bought for a ransom amount. I have a dentist friend, he claims that he spent loads and loads to do his BDS & MDS and he insists on taking dowry for the money he had to spent to reach where he is now. I don't wanna say it's only guys.......more than the candidates, it's their relatives who pricks them about the need of taking and giving a good money as dowry. Yesterday i got a funny mail from a joynetter saying that if a female teacher is looking for an engineer partner, what is wrong in taking dowry. What i mean to say that the entire system is going in a wrong way. We need to change our attitude. Even though you or myself talk that it's a bad system.......we have something some kind of attitude running through our blood , which is almost hereditary and we find it so difficult to change ourselves.
