She is Not for SELL ...

A typical conversation between girl’s & boy’s parents while fixing marriage in Indian family needs a TURN.

After general discussion between parents & when they come to the point, see how “deal” starts from boy’s parents & ends with a punch from girl’s parents.

“So …Let’s come to the point. How are you planning for a marriage of your daughter? We want a grand wedding from your side & I believe you will give your daughter 10 Toda gold, all household things etc.

I can’t promise this much. I will definitely give whatever I want, to my daughter.

Look, my son is an engineer in MNC. He earns lakhs of money; He will keep your daughter very happy.We have not demanded much. In fact, this much is less for what he deserves.

Oh..  Sorry.. I didn’t know that your son is For SELL. In that case, he is cheaper than my daughter. My daughter also earns as much as he does, she is as educated as he is,. In fact she is more deserved than him as she knows many more things than your son like household activities, she can manage home, your parents, job etc simultaneously.  She is independent in every aspect.

In this sense, actually you need to pay us but sorry boss, she is not for sell.

Please sell him somewhere else. We are not interested. Thanks for the offer.”

Most of the girl's parents take the demands lightly for the reason even though they would not have asked, we would have given this much. But wait, its not about how much are they demanding... Its about their attitude of "Demanding". 

Giving on your own is a Gift. Giving on demand is dowry.  

Don't wrap dowry as gift...

Think about it.
