The Reddit user told strange in his family. In Indian marriages, when the dowry as a custom has a priority over family values, a shocking example of the rejection of the groom for the rejection of gifts, property, car and money from the Bride family was documented.
Redditor told about the events and said his 27 -year -old, 5’10 tall cousin who earns well and his own BMW M340i, “was refused because he refused to take the dowry.” The groom, coming from a rich family who owns “real estate, restaurants and businesses in pubs” and the property of ancestors, found a “great girl; intelligent, career, good family values” in an organized marriage.
But when he was looking for a female hand in marriage, but without a dowry. The post states: “Then her father asks my cousin what the dowry wants. Cousin says,” None, I’m good. “Dad lasts;
His progressive approach to the change of repressive traditions did not resonate with the father of the bride who refused him for refusing to accept the dowry and said, “A high value man knows his value. If he rejects the tower, there must be a defect.” He literally used the word defect. To explain this, even gave this gem analogy: “Xiaomi/vivo phones are 15 K-20K, but people still pay for the lakh for iPhone because they are valuable.”
Redditor closed the post and said, “I’m glad my brother avoided the bullet.”
The reaction of social media
The user wrote: “Sometimes the dowry is a chip bargaining if things become acidic. And for people who have money, they want something else to hold the upper hand, which is what seems to be.”
Another user noted: “BRO should answer back like this.” Why do you offer me dowry? Is this girl defective? As a compensation of something she missed from the perfect girl. “
The third user said: “He offered dowry, so if things go south and in most cases like these, the bride can then give cases of harassment and extract huge maintenance. So 40-50 lakh investment can trigger them in a few years.
The fourth comment read: “I came across several such matches. Girls and their parents were ambitious to get the alliance quickly, but I wanted to get to know each other better. The girls because they didn’t sit with me.”
