Dowry is something accepted by spineless men, I don't know why most Indian men accept it in spite of all the problems Dowry has caused in this society. Here are couple of reasons why you should'nt accept dowry.

1. First of all, It is against the Law. If you are caught with evidence, you will spend a lot of years in prison.

2. By accepting Dowry, you will become a part of a tradition that has killed so many women, children and even unborn babies, and you will help to keep this tradition alive.

3. The woman that you marry will not have any real respect for you, as she knows that you are a spineless coward.

4. Accepting Dowry is against all religions, as prostitution is against all religions. Dowry is nothing but prostitution, the only difference is that the man accepts money here.

MY ADVICE:

TO MEN:
Please have the courage to oppose your parents atleast in this matter and be real men.

Marry a woman who's parents cannot afford to pay dowry. By doing that, you might save someone who otherwise could become a victim.

TO WOMEN:
If you think your parents cannot afford to pay Dowry, get a boyfriend while you are in college and don't wait for your parents to look for a guy for you.

  I thought, it was very much part of Sanskritic Hindu Law! Now it has become widespread to the non-sanskritics too! - See the Sansiritic Manu Smriti for verses on the Dowry Law!
  
  But I agree with you, kickboxer, it is no good! And look here all of you! Get married and raise the next generation well - else you will go extinct!

  But manu smriti is being condemned as "filth" in this forum by the Hindus!
  
  Every time I quote from the Bhagavad Gita, Manu Smriti, Ramayana, Mahabharata or the 4 vedas, I am accused of being abusive and using filthy language! Why is that? I am not even changing the text from those "holy" scriptures!

  Guys,
  
  Stop your usual Bull***t and your blame-games. All Indians, no matter what caste and religion they belong to, accept Dowry. They definitely are united here, It is upsetting to know that Indians are united only to contribute to social evils.
  
  Please stop blaming others for your cowardice and stupidity!

  I cannot stop laughing and fating when I read your post.Atleast have some talent to rule t/n.you say tamils are intelligent,educated,e,t,c- people.If so why do import non tamil ministers like j/L late M.G.R from other states to rule over tamils.Can any tamils become minister inany states.But non tamils riding horse back in the shoulder of tamils.You had a tamil minister call karunanithy a stage hero look like a hog good for nothing.This man was given good beating by a kannada woman and was jailed.Dam shame.So there fore do not fart,roll up your tail in your assshole,eat the left over and sleep well in a coner.O.K Velan you fool.

  Alarm guys
  It doesn't mean that if you marry a girl without dowry she will be good. Many guys who married like that are frustrated to see the girls become fuzzy later.
  Its all in your head. You can't change that.
