    Couple of reasons why you should'nt take Dowry

    Dowry is something accepted by spineless men, I don't know why most Indian men accept it in spite of all the problems Dowry has caused in this society. Here are couple of reasons why you should'nt accept dowry.

    1. First of all, It is against the Law. If you are caught with evidence, you will spend a lot of years in prison.

    2. By accepting Dowry, you will become a part of a tradition that has killed so many women, children and even unborn babies, and you will help to keep this tradition alive.

    3. The woman that you marry will not have any real respect for you, as she knows that you are a spineless coward.

    4. Accepting Dowry is against all religions, as prostitution is against all religions. Dowry is nothing but prostitution, the only difference is that the man accepts money here.

    MY ADVICE:

    TO MEN:
    Please have the courage to oppose your parents atleast in this matter and be real men.

    Marry a woman who's parents cannot afford to pay dowry. By doing that, you might save someone who otherwise could become a victim.

    TO WOMEN:
    If you think your parents cannot afford to pay Dowry, get a boyfriend while you are in college and don't wait for your parents to look for a guy for you.

    I will give you a couple of reasons why you should take dowry!!

    1. Marriage is a gamble. At least the dowry is a guranteed money!

    2. Paid slavery is better than unpaid one!!

    3. It is solace in hard times (especially saturday nights when you come late) that it was not all for nothing!!!

    4. Keep it in a bank, it has compensatory growth to offset growth of wife in size.

    JG: You call those jokes, because you aint married yet...

    Others like Shekhar would, I am sure, prefer to call it, reality!

    Some words are better left unsaid, Akka....and some names are better left unnamed!

    Anyway, before we digress from the topic too much, did you know that initially, the men paid a dowry to get the bride?

    I guess the Masai people still do!

    Do girls pay dowry to marry to love the husband?!! That's a news to me!!.

    Hey!! that's a good idea!! Girls who fall in love should pay!!
    But unfortunately, for a boy, falling in love is very expensive.. Firstly without a nice vehicle and nice expensive clothes, no girl will fall for him. And when he gets a girl, it is daily expenditure, entertaining her and many times her friends as well The fellow should not even think of falling in love unless his purse is big!! And the worst part is if you love and marry you won't get dowry!!
