RE: Men and their escalating dowry demands.
Though, what you have written is 99 .9 % right, but I am told by some of my friends that actually opposite in their villages. Man have to pay to bride to get married.
The same is in other community, where bridegroom has to pay 'meher' to bride to get married.
Meher is kind of token amount in the Muslim marriage i.e. 'nikah'. When the groom announces 'talaak' thrice the woman is expected to leave the house with just the meher amount that she was promised at the time of wedding. I am not too sure about this, but that's what I have heard from my cousin who married a Muslim guy for love. Hindu culture is different and my maid has a similar story to tell. Sad but true, women are still treated badly in economically backward sections.
Yes, unfortunately..
We are living in a country where things are changing, but at a snail pace..
