Explanation:
This Questions is very easy though but see below :-
Most of us know that it is the amount of money, home appliances, vehicles, clothes and many more household items that girl’s parents give to boy’s family.
Everybody knows about it.
I wont be talking about this.
Lets go one step further.
We all know about dowry that is given on marriage day but what about the dowry after marriage.
Let me present you a list of festivals where after marriage dowry is still given
Diwali
Lohri
Namani
Karva chauth
EAch of these festivals nearly costed us 30000 on average basis.
On diwali we gifted them led tv, fruits, sweets, costly candles. It nearly costed us 35000 rs. Moreover we gave them shagun as well to all the members and the lost of members goes like this
My sister
Her husband
Her parents
Her grandparents
Her sister in laws
Her sister in law’s husbands
Thank god her sister in law’s kids were not there.
This shagun almost costed us 10–15 thousand.
On karva chauth we gifted clothes to each of her family members. We nearly bought 50 kg sweets for them. And obviously shagun also.
Why are we offering this to them?
Are they economically poor? Dont they have clothes to wear?
These expenses are same in case of other festivals. Expense nearly came to 30000 rs just the material changed.
I want each of you to tell what is the need for it?
If someone has a real factual answer then please do tell me.
All families do not have strong economic condition. So why are we putting such a big burden on them.
I am not in favour that after marriage a girl is no more our responsibility. She is our own blood. If she needs something she will tell us. Why are we wasting it just in name of show offs and rituals.
Everybody talks about stopping these useless thi gs bjt nobody initiates.
