I can see why you are so confused. Because sometimes even when people say they don’t want jahaiz, they don’t really mean it. I hope your in laws are the nice type and they actually do mean it. However, most people expect gifts on the wedding day, and make a big fuss and taunt the bahu and her parents for being ‘stingy’/ As if the girl’s family owes it to them. Look at angel25’s case.

yes right..it all depends on if they really mean it or do they really dont want anything..

for my case, as i was moving to another country, my in laws said that they dont want any furniture in pakistan (from us) as they dont stay in pakistan much so it will be waste of money. so what my parents did, they gave me cash so that when i move to usa, i can buy furniture here. but when we went for BIL wedding in pakistan , then i heard my MIL telling someone that my parents should at least bought a bed and dressing table in pakistan so that now she (me) could use it..

about gold as gifts..my mom gifted my MIL a gold kangan …later my MIL complained that she didnt lke the design

i am against gifting gold to in laws. these days gold is so expensive..60 000 a tolla and with making price it will cost almost 75 000 a tolla

Dafftduck if your parents can afford it then its ok or else you can gift them something else..like 2-3 suits, with perfume, etc in a beautifully wrapped basket.

a gift doesnt need to be expensive…
