Dowry for your kids

@khawateen

whats there to clear up? its quite simple i think.

for example.. saleema is to get married.. her in laws to be want a car in jahez as well as lots of jewellary… the parents of the girl are in a fix. they cant afford a whole lot nor do tehy want to give the in laws all that. they had only wanted to give small gifts to their girl on her wedding day but now are faced with this huge expense.

what would you do if you were saleema’s folks?

i would tell the guy’s family to go such on a rock. my daughter is way more valuable than being secondary to a car and jewels. and how dare you ask for anything for yourselves? whatever i give (if anything) is for my daughter to use in her house.

now im not even talking about the poor ppl that HAVE to think bout jahez. its an issue that wont go away in that sector due to ignorance (though educated ppl are guilty of this too).. but atleast the new generation is making changes and the older lot are coming along.

i could give an example but then you would say im taking it personally

Thanks for that. I thought you meant shower your daughters with ‘gifts’ when you said “treat your daughters like they are worth something”. Sorry, It was late at night…
