    Arrival of girl in your home is called Lakshmi. Please accept her without money. Every girl who comes to the new house comes with a moto of bringing good luck and prosperity to the new house and it will happen if her in-laws support and motivate her.

    (Dowry was generally given at the wedding by the husband at the church door in front of all present public. This was in UK. ) But in our country because of our tradition it's also there with Hindus Christians and Muslim too. It will take its own time for asking for dowry. For the time being it will not exist. Dowry in our country by traditional is only given to bridegroom family by the brides family. The demand is agreed by both parties. Most of the time the bride will file a false case because of the loop hole in law and Husband,. Father in law, Mother in law, sister in law get arrested. No bail. Many of the parents of the boy have passed away in central Jail in our country.

    If Boy is poor & Girls Family is having enough. They can part something to the Boy. But if the Girls Family is poor. It is not wise to demand from the Girls Family. These things to be sorted out before marriage not afterwards. Such Boys Family should think of this before .

    This dowry system is menace to India . It is outdated system should not be encouraged by modern people. It is having cultural significance sometimes so it must be modified to become accountable . Modern systems like EMI facility, foreign remittances etc can be tried and also it should be made liberal by making boys family also paying dowry. Equality liberalism and tolerance is the need of the day for this ancient system to become outdated or modernised

    I agree with Tattil Thomas ji. In Canada the natives were told to modernise or ship out .It is well known that the dowry system is seen as evil and patriarchical. However there are two sides to each coin and time and tide wait for no man, woman or hermaphrodite. Similarly the dowry system should be modernised to reflect the liberal, plural, secular society. Instead of harassment, Ashwin Correa should have employed other means like pressuring via YMCA, Catholic Ajjeres , Catholic Khap panchayats or settling for a slight lower amount with the rest being paid via shares and debentures. Cash isn't usually good for dowry purposes as the fascist Modi is cracking down on innocent minorities hoarding black money. Modern youth like Ashwin Correa should explore other avenues like bitcoin or foreign exchange.

    Few in-laws demand dowry. But there are many in-law readers here who demand 15 Lakhs in every season for every reason.

    KvKamath...15 lacs nothing to do with above case. 15 lacs is promised by stupid politicians in order to come to power and idiots believed them and brought them to power. Now 7 years passed but not even a single rupee came in. So what is wrong if people demand 15 lacs??? Don't call me deshdrohi as my statement is against BJP.

    KvKamath, Mangalore, Maamu, have some Bajiyas, Podies and Chai. 15 lakhs to each citizen's account were promised by your favourite Guru to fool the people to garner votes to gain power. This instance of dowry harassment has no connection whatsoever to the 15 laaths, which everyone has been receiving since last few years. So just enjoy with some more golibaje and some spicy chutney....!!!!!

    Jossey, Read the promise written on currency..... Doesn't those promises go in vain? Why go behind an oral statement when the promise written on currency turns invalid.
