Shame.

I dont know how it is in South India but in North Inida, during the first year of marriage, the bride’s father has to send gifts, expensive clothes and sweets for the groom and his family on every festival which may be 4-5 in number. And when a child (read a baby boy) is born, the gifted items comprise of valuables, clothes etc similar to what was done in the wedding.
Dowry involved in weddings is just a narrow concept.

Last year when my nephew got married, both my sister-in-law’s family and the bride’s family wanted a simple arya samaj wedding or a register wedding but it was the bride and the groom who wanted an elaborate affair their friends got an even manager from Bangalore and a respectable quiet southern wedding turned into a Punjabi debacle!

I know it’s tradition over there, but I never had a lavish wedding. I don’t really think it makes any difference to the couple’s long life together.
