check the sample of the survey

Ideally it is good to hear but no girl or their parents can be happy with this survey. The survey might have taken from highly educated urban group. If you come to villages and rural areas you would understand the reality. Girls may tell all these stories in the beginning and guys will accept much before marriage understanding that girls needs to be decorated with gold, vehicle, dress and even cash in the name of gift if not as dowry. Earlier days parents didn't mind to tell their requirement, now a days the trend is changed and they say I gave so much to my girl a few years back and even we had other proposal with so much which we didn't take. Finding no other way the girl's parents will accept. Very rarely a few girls may resist initially and gradually accept atleast to get married. Some parents speak diplomatically you give what ever you feel like to your girl we don't demand anything assuming that the girls' parents will not let them down. It is rare in rarest that people tell that please don't given anything other than your daughter. When ever you take survey get the representation from every where and conduct survey of the recently married girls with all these parameters it would be the worst.

Nowadays Marriage itself is Rare
by himamshu on Dec 31, 2014 09:34 PM


Marriage, Caste and Traditions, Forests and Wild Animals are Disappearing at a Rapid rate due to Urbanization and One sided Inflation by Government policies.

People are Dating, Mating at will and everyone has atleast 5 to 6 affairs with PMS before completing college itself.

Workplace is even more hopeless with hardly good salary for the work that is extracted.

When Marriage becomes a Mirage for most of the Under qualified and Lesser privileged male candidates, where does the question of Dowry arise?

Males will be Happy nowadays if they stand a chance to get a wife, as maintaining a wife is a very costly affair.

If males can't maintain them and apply for divorce, they ask for property share and money which is even more dubious than dowry system.

Dowry is of necessity to boys and should be given and taken and should be legalised.
