Do Desi women even like gold jewelry?

Do you? Do you care if your inlaws don’t/didn’t gift you any? If not then why do you care who keeps it? If yes, then did you bring jehaz worth the amount of gold jewelry given to you as a gift? Isn’t it a double standard to expect gold jewelry from husband/inlaws but not bring jehaz with you? Do I have it all wrong? Please explain…

I see more and more girls disliking this trend. It’s a good thing I suppose.

DO they like it? Of course they do! I think you haven't seen the family fights that result from the parents not giving their daughter enough jewelery.

^I don't like gold jewelry either. I would be wrong to say I hate Gold because it's a precious/highly valued metal. I believe you meant the same.

All this gold gifting has nothing to do with whether the bride likes or wants it or not.

Re: Do Desi women even like gold jewelry?

i wear it very rarely but i love it - its timeless and also an asset! in my opinion its one of the only gifts that will increase in value! (not that that's what gifting is about)

Its not about liking Gold or not, its a nice gesture on the familys part to gift the new member something of good value. If i am getting married in to a well to do family, i will obviously expect to be given decent gifts.

I hate kanjos people! I have seen some very well to do people giving absolutely horrendous clothes and euwww jewellery to their bahus or same way inexpensive gifts to their damads and i think that really sucks.

Re: Do Desi women even like gold jewelry?

But then do you believe you should bring jehaz equivalent to the value of gold jewelry being given to you?

Wouldn't you say it's a double standard?

Re: Do Desi women even like gold jewelry?

I could say the same thing about bringing jehaz and bari stuff. Wouldn't you say families feel pressured to gift gold jewelry because of the old tradition/custom similar to jehaz-giving? Why is one considered somewhat a taboo and the other is still very much expected?
