Re: Rishta Demands
It’s rather strange to see how much people avoid giving it. Sometimes the amount is so little that the joota churai is more so avoiding something that only has symbolic value is really telling.
I’ve also seen it the other way around. My female cousin was getting nikahfied and the groom’s father asked whether 2 and half lakhs pkr not inclusive of gold was okay. My uncle nodded and said to my dad it’s not like we’ll take it. So basically if there’s a divorce people will do their damnest to have an equitable distribution of assets for their daughters but Allah’s method of safeguarding is discarded as a mere formality. I find it kind of insulting as a Muslim.
