Dowry has had always remained part of wedding tradition and cultured in the eastern culture. It is practiced especially in India and Pakistan.
On today’s show, marriage counselor, Mrs. Qureshi was called upon. Women of various age groups made up the audience, while a woman along with her 20 year old son made appearance on the show.
The woman through the morning show platform presented her son’s marriage proposal to every girl possessing beauty, holding a sound-financial background, belonging from a reputed family and must be educated. The woman said that life partner of her son should be capable enough to turn over new leaf in his life and back him up full financial support.
The lady was heavily criticized by the callers at the show, by the guest, by the audience and even by the host Nida.She was questioned the reason behind her greediness by the audience at which she justified saying that after being married her daughter –in-law would become part of the family and to support her in-law becomes her duty. The woman said that she holds their right to expect and demand things from the bride since marriage would bring no change in their condition if her son gets married to a poor girl.
Today’s show shed light on the emerging negative trend of dowry in our society. There exist many people who have taken marriage as way of fulfilling their materialistic and physical needs. These ill-thinking people have changed the very notion of marriage thus by showing the perception of such a lady,it was urged to the parents that they should not blindly knot their daughters in the name of marriage to such people but instead keeping your daughters at home as bachelors is better than letting them to ruin their lives at the hands of such people.
