Qualifications/salary of the groom...
by Krishna on Jan 02, 2015 11:11 AM

So also the qualifications/salary structure of the grooms should also not be asked by the girls... Asking these details should invite Sec 498A...

Facts of Girls on Marriage
by sanry on Jan 02, 2015 10:38 AM  | Hide replies

Every girl needs a rich guy and she mostly needs good money for herself from the guy. Girl only marries to Guy who have lots of property and money. So, every Guy must not only see the Girl but her family also. The marriage must be in equality. If, not, the girl start taking all the costly items from her Matrimonial home to her parents home. Mut see the Girl's salary structure and her Family background.

Actually, that's why their master owl baba's marriage is also not happening at all. Foniamai's demands for dowry are outrageous, what with her swiss account being one of the hughest in the world, forget India.

the above survey does not hold enough water. it has been done by shaadi.com, as quoted in the article " When single Indian women were asked in a survey by Shaadi.com ' in this case only people / girls who have access to internet and want to find a husband through these means, only would have been surveyed.

go and check in the rural area where dowry funda in thriving. a little educated boy holds a good demand [ value wise for marriage ] in his village and the girls parents willing give in. also that child marriages are still going on in many remote parts.

The writer of the article has only done minimal work on the article - hence, baseless.

Pre-Nups
by Gaurav GUPTA on Jan 01, 2015 02:51 PM

Legally binding Pre-Nups are the order of the day. Let the boy and the girl clearly state what assets they own and what do they stand to inherit. In case of a divorce the girl can take back her share of assets or property she brings into the marriage and be done with it. A quick Divorce Without malice should be allowed.

Let Both Sets of parents sign affidavits that they have neither sought dowry nor have they given dowry. Let the approximate amount spent by both sides be put on paper. This affidavit must be in duplicate(in case its possible let a digitised copy exist with marriage registrar), Notarised by a Court judge and legally binding.

Any False case of Dory harassment must be made a non-bail able offence. The Boy’s side maybe arrested only after verification of all facts by a magistrate (I believe that this provision has been brought in now) If A False case of Dory harassment is proved the compensation must be in line with the boy’s social standing, loss of earning , loss of career, legal expenses if any.If the girl is not able to pay, let her family assets be sold to compensate the boy

IF EVERY GIRL IN OUR COUNTRY IS ABLE TO EARN MONEY EQUAL AS BOY THEN THERE IS NO QUESTION OF DOWRY SYSTEM AND NO NEED OF LAW SO WE SHOULD TRY TO MAKE OUR GIRLS AS QUALIFIED AND STRONG THAT THEY CAN EARN MONEY.

They are already Overqualified and Over Empowered to such a hilt that Girls can reject any boy and accept any guy whom she chooses, still they don't seem to be happy.

What exactly is Dowry ??
by Murali Mohan on Jan 01, 2015 12:46 PM  | Hide replies

If a Boy demands money for Marriage, it is called Dowry. After Marriage, the girl automatically gets ownership rights over 50% of the boy's properties/cash. What is this called then?? What does the girl contribute in a marriage as far as property/cash is concerned??

The problem is we have Feminists making laws for women, but nobody to stand up for males and our issues.

check the sample of the survey
by Jiju Mathews on Jan 01, 2015 10:13 AM

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.
