Question. I see a lot of educated and highly placed Indians, abroad, who ask for dowry. The higher they are in the food chain and the more they earn, the more they ask for!

Girls get killed over dowry mate, people ask for dowry cause they want money and they think girls ain't worth shit.

Ofcourse.

Blaming it on Greed and Misogyny is such easy task, but do know 50% women (Bahu) burnt/ tortured after marriage is by women (Saans). Its not a number out of ass, but police records say its more than less.

But you do know, if Inheritence system makes sisters eligible for father's property even after marriage, there won't be any Dowry?

Its not optimistic, its truth, you really need to go see some of those who ask for dowry. Tell them, "Half or whatever share of my property will be my daughter's, When I die."

Let's see what he will choose: Dowry or Will's Share. No man give more than what he has, you know.

When this becomes Law, it applies to all. Even those demanding Dowry and you will see how it changes.
