Are marriages becoming a business in India?

• Now a days marriages going on tender. It is just like an agreement between two
families. If a lady coming with money when marrying, she treats well. Otherwise
she treats badly. She will meet many problems in her husband's house.

A must topic to be discussed I feel. Yes " Marriages have become a good business" to
earn lakhs and crores even. Today a guy u studies in US demands at least 10 lakhs and
the highest limit can be anything .I feel people prefer to do MS just to make business.

I heard about some people who are not ready even to see the girl, If her parents
cannot afford to give MIN amount, though she is good at attitude studies and good
looking as well.

I don’t know what Marriage is to do with the money when both the persons have
good qualifications to settle well in life. Infact the importance must be given to the people
who are going to marry, the decision must be given to them bcoz they are the ones who
are going to live together for the rest of the life.

Daily we see a lot of news about the women being harassed and killed just for
the sake of dowry. What kind of person he is when he is ready to kill his partner for the
sake of money. In my view such persons must be given a death sentence. And
government should take severe action on the persons who accept dowry.

We see many politicians daily giving long speeches against this issue, but what
happens when it comes to his own daughters or sons marriage, God only knows how
much they give or take.

And some parents in the rich families take it as a prestige issue. I think they feel the one
whom takes/gives more money is very great. So I feel this system must be eliminated in
rich families first.

Beggars are better than the people who take dowry. Parents should change their attitude
towards taking dowry.

Even I have seen many girls who suggest their brothers to take dowry.

It is a sick attitude. Lot of males playing with female life just because of dowry. We
should punish the people who take dowry.

It’s becoming a dangerous issue in poor class families. It is very sad to know
that even few idiots ready to kill their best half just for dowry. If they give birth to a baby
girl they are just throwing them in dustbin. Think for a while?

These days 80% males want to study in US or want to work in US just to take more
dowries. What a sick attitude? We have to punish these educated idiots. Even I have seen
many of friends going to US or UK just to take more dowries. Yes its 100% purely a
business now in India in fact it is a growing business.

As a guy my suggestion to other guys:

Marry a girl but not money. Money is sick it just come & go in our life but your wife
will stay with you till your final breath. You cannot measure a girl with money. She is
more than any amount of money. It’s our responsibility to protect them If not soon you
will see a world with out these angles

Start changing the attitude of your parents & sisters towards taking dowry.

** Think of our culture once " INDIA is the only place where a female has a lot respect “
But now wts happening?

• Well, I differ. Business has always a buyer, a seller. Who is who here? As long
as marriage is an institution and parents believe, they shall get a good bride
(groom), they pay a price, Ise. To the extent of dowry one can argue of business.
Not the whole process. With the literacy in women increasing, their % at jobs
increasing, current day parent are worried on Love marriages and related pains
like suicide, killing etc. Marriages are business to Marriage halls, Flower guys,
Shamiana guys, caterers etc.
• Marriage is not be seen as a business where the bridegroom is tagged an heavy
price n the bride's parents want it to buy at any cost. Why should the bride's
parents give dowry for the bridegroom n his family members???? This is a
burning issue, which needs immediate attention. It's in our hand to se that the
dowry problem gets curbed. Every man must think in a proper way, so that
marriage can regain its lost sanctity.

marriage process is not business, it is to be respected a lot. But many are making it a
business for the sake of dowry.

Why not all of us stop accepting/giving dowry when some people are killing the women
for sake of money. Can’t we give up this system for protecting many more lives? I think
life is more important than money.

Yes parents want to get good brides, but I think money is not the solution for that. Better
understanding about each other’s families is important here. I think there is no need of
bringing money matter here.

This problem begins with where, we have to note down. When the people went to brides
home, first start an arguments (How much dowry) with relatives and parents (especially
mothers). So this will start with ladies only. If we start like this, once again it will create
arguments in different way. So leave it and think. Now a days parents and people are
living for society expectations. We have to live for our self not for neibourhoods.
1. This problem will rectify only future generation. If u gives some suggestion to others
can't get. So if u would like to marry don't get dowry and ur children’s.

2. Give suggestions to ur close relatives others won't get ur suggestion. If they convinced,
its ur power.

We can reduce this business also in future, if we take steps.

marriage is fast becoming a business in India. This is not just the fault with the brides or
groom s family but it is just the problems that link these issues. With unemployment
increasing men are looking to make their life a little safer by indulging in these kinds of
activities. Educating people about this is in no way going to stop the problem because, it
is the people who are educated whom r making these mistakes. Making them know their
limitations of accessing money like this and strict regulations can only stop this by the
government. Youths should understand that following such stupid customs is just stupid.
Making rules just wont stop these activities. But curbing people of having illicit income
like these can be

Can we start punishing each n every person.... who does crimes like that? In India where
Govt is ruled by RICH PEOPLE who have money n power well considering all these
facts. Some things can’t be changed. Rather we can bring awareness amongst ALL
GROUPS OF PEOPLE, CHILDREN, and ELDERS AS WELL AS YOUNGSTERS who
will get married in future. Well as keerthi and others has said ... People are not even
considering whether the female is good, has got good capabilities. Rather than asking so
many dowries.... what ever might be...? CHANGE SHUD HAPPEN WITH IN EACH OF
US. So that we will be an example for future citizens....

This is what I feel realistically

Marriage become business now a days cause today’s some people don’t think about
groom how is should be generally every parent think about "PARTY DENEWALA HAI
KI NAHI".

Second is some people think about as if some family member dot able to study
in Abroad so in that case family member thinks CHALO SHADHI KAR LETE HAI "
they don’t think how girls are and what is qualifications are.

So now a days Marriage is agreement between to party.

Have a look at the effect of dowary offering murder,harasshment,lack of respect to the

girls and reduction of divine aspect of marriage.Is not it a superstition? It has covered
with its entierity to us, So stand up with much courage and enthusiasm and take a step
from you,your family to rerst of your society providing awarness and conserving the
purity of marriage. Think in many cases why people put their girl baby to an end before
birth? For the fear of dowary? Just listen her cry.... Cry of an women being murdered for
money? Does comparison of love of a wife,affection of a mother be compared with
money. So ,come forward and say.. "TOGETHER WE CAN"......

nowadays marriage become business but don't you think a girl is also your sister if
someone weigh her in money how you feel off course "GUSSA TO AYEGA HI " PAR
KAR BHI KYA SAKTHEY HAIN LADKA ACCHA HE HAAT SE NIKAL JAYEGA
these words you hear lots of the time ... but don't you think a bride which is more towards
money is really better life partner for you or for your daughter ? marriage means
spending love between the two arranging peoples rather then spending money on them .
we all know money is dynamic in nature so is it good to make its base in marriage ? i
think love is static make it a base .... so “Remember that a successful marriage depends
on two things: (1) finding the right person and (2) being the right person” in terms of love
.. what i think Marriage is a wonderful institution.. where we learn lots of think but its my
request to you all make this institution free from money no fee is alloweded here ....and
criteria for addimission in this institute is that bring certificates of love with you and
money ....." ARE YOU AGREE WITH ME " ?

marriages are treating now as bussiness.basically dowry is considering as tradition and

culture.especially the rich people take it as a prestige that how much they has given and
howmuch they give and take.in the earlier days people treat it as a tradition but now as
the technology hs improved a lot and there is so much change in the mindset of people
but still they are folowing these evil culture .and if we think practically now both men
and women are treating equally and women are also studying equly with men so the
parents of women should spend the money equally with men and how can they again
afford to give dowry,how do they need dowry if both are well educated and able to earn
for their future.so every body should think like this and try to abolish this dowry.

Dowry is a part of the age old tradition in India. There is nothing wrong in family of the
bride wanting to dote upon gifts on their daughter. Dowry becomes an evil only when it
is asked for.. This brings out the greedy side of the human beings. But who are we to
blame?. The Bridesgroom, his parents or the girl. In todays modern world girls are
making progress by leaps and bounds. Be it any field girls have made their mark. But
when it comes to marriages why do they take a back seat.. May be because they feel that
marriage will lead to security and hence let their parents do the needful.. It is high time
that the girls put their foot down on marrying a person on condition of dowries. Because
they are the ones who have to leave their house and stay with the husband's family. There
are many chances that even after taking huge dowry the bridegroom's family may harras
the poor girl for more money. I think women have made a lot of progress and can make
changes happen even in case of dowry. That is why it is often said that when a man is
educated he is the only one who is educated, but when a woman is educated then her
entire family and future generations will be educated. So my dear girls, please make use
of your education and stand up for your rights.
