Re: How much Jahaiz?
My mom gave my mil, my husband's nani and dadi gold sets on my Nikkah.
Oh.My.God.
We had a world war three in the house when I found out but she was like, it's a happy occasion, exchanging presents increases love, how would it look if I had just put a suit in a gift bag and given it to her? I told her, to increase love, you don't need to increase the bill for the gifts! I mean seriously, wth, along with all of that, my mom sent seperate boxes for EACH of his family members filled with stuff, and gifts to all their friends and family who attended the wedding. Not like my inlaws asked for any of that but I had the biggest problem with my mom repeating this stupid tradition of her family's, which I will also be expected to do in the future and Im so not doing any of that crap. I'll put all that amount in an envelope, hand it to my kids and tell them to enjoy.
For the rukhsati, there are NO gifts.
