Sorry , I am taking the Thread Back , But instead reading the initial replies.
@Namaan Right , that this contract should be made wisely with through benifit analysis , but benifites should not be only Money(salary of girl).
Keep aside the Thinking Word "think" , in if women think , it could also be said , If men think. Secondly , I think they are already paying much , just see Cost of Breast Milk a Mother is giving to their Babies , Men can bring from no where in the Universe.
I was trying to act as a devils advocate here, but its a fact that our ever stagnant society is changing. The equality women demanded is now here but with few consequences. Doesn't matter how hard you cry 'I am old fashioned' because people have already started manipulating your just desire for their own selfishness.
Now whats the solution?
- Educated women have to be really wise while choosing life partner as chances of being used are higher than ever before.
- Family protocol and roles decided by men, now should be decided by mutual agreement of both.
- Open dialog between both parties to discuss financial conditions and how they can work as a team to improve it.
We can always add more to this list. But point is that world has moved on, so we better rearrange our priorities rather than crying over spilt milk.
