"NO DOWRY CLUB"- Join the group of you are against dowry and give your own oath against dowry

Vachaspatiji, I am not against registering the marriage. I prefer a ceremonius, traditional marriage to a register marriage. Thats it. Posted by: Ms. Prasanthi Uppalapati At: 23, Jun 2005 10:08:44 AM IST ... It's o.k. But if women think like that, in the long range, it may lead to extravagant expenditure in future. It's the inherent danger as being happened now. It's true women are so particular about ceremonies instead of register marriages. Even after ceremonial marriage, it's compulsory to register that marriage as per the recommendations of the National Commission for Women. But few follow it. Whenever their hubby go to abroad, to apply for the passport, they go for register office for the registration. Or when ever their is a property dispute, then also they go for register office. Untimely or lapsed time registration causes disadvantage to women only. But it's reasonable to think, why women always prefer ceremonial marriage! They need social recognition and security. In ceremonial marriage only they will get that social recognition. In register marriage, it's indirect or in most of the cases may not be also. Even though the marriage is registered, socially women may not get social recognition of wifehood, though she may get legal status. It's better to follow the both timely. With in one month of the marriage, one need to go for the register marriage and go for registration. It helps women to get the both social and legal status. In some issues, women roam around the police stations and courts, to prove that she is wife of so and so. It's because her marriage is not registered.

Again marriage is not for publicity or show-off. But if we can be an example without taking any dowry and share that news with others, who knows someone who has interest also be inspired and do the same. That way we can expect a positive change. We must be the example of what we preach. ... Good Suggestion Prashanthigaru, It's o.k. But little bit conservative one. Registered marriage is beneficial for all the purposes. When the marriage is registered only one can be legally inherit the properties. Morever, one need to register their marriage to prove themselves as wife or husband. It's better to go for Register Marriage and go for reception later.

The next on the subject should be how soon should the relatives, friends attend to the marriage and how late can they leave after attending the marriage? It is really an acid test for bride and grooms parents, moreso if they are in a place like hyderabad, as the relatives would like to visit all places of interest in and around hyderbad? Who should foot the bills of the relatives for travel, stay, food etc,the guests themselves or the respective bride and groom's parents? This is for guests being on long run?:-)

Posted by: DoBoy At: 21, Jun 2005 5:13:09 PM IST ____________________________________________ In my case it was the second option ... both parties shared the expenditure .. even though we offered to bear the total expenditure (my wife's family also had a similar offer since we were against taking dowry he he hee), finally they spent on their expenses and we spent on our expenses. And By the way .. why is no one talking about the Gifts (Like Golden Jewellery) given by the family of the groom to the Bride? Doesnt it come under dowry? Tilak garu, can U throw some light on this?

Traditionally, marriage functions have been held for the sole purpose of publ;icity - since in the good old days there were no means to store evidence, the couple getting married used to call others to be the witnesses for the marriage.
