Wedding gift

Today is Reshmi's wedding. The house is full of relatives and people. Reshmi's father Afzal Hossain is a middle class farmer in the village and has six bighas of paddy land. Besides Reshmi, Afzal Hossain has two more daughters.

Afzal Hossain and Reshmi's mother Zulekha Begum could not be happy on the occasion of their eldest daughter's marriage. There is no peace until marriage.

There are enough reasons for Reshmi's parents to be worried. Earlier, Reshmi got married in three places. The date of the wedding was fixed in two places.

Beautiful enough to look silky, in her final year of honors, her father's condition was not very good, but for the first time she got married to a very rich man's son. They like silk very much but silk is crooked. The rich will not marry at home. Reshmi argued that I could not cope with such a rich man and that my parents would not get due respect there. My parents would have to keep their heads down. I would have to listen to the relatives of the in-laws saying that the poor girl is a village girl. I can't.

Later, when the date of marriage was fixed again, the date of the wedding was fixed till the day of the seal, then Reshmi said directly to the bridegroom without any hesitation and said that he would like to get the money of the seal at the wedding hall only if I get the full amount of the seal or not.

Reshmi's words shocked the parents of the pot and the pot, what a girl! Denmohar wants to get money in the wedding hall! This is a very greedy girl. This girl cannot be made the wife of the house at all. Twice in a row, Reshmi's parents understand that the marriage has broken down, but Reshmi will not listen to her.

Mamun and Mamun's parents came to see Reshmi last week. Mamun is a primary school teacher. Reshmi's parents have already repeatedly forbidden her daughter to say anything in front of the potter about Denmohar.

The pot party liked Reshmi very much, after the date of the wedding day was fixed, Reshmi cleared her throat and said, I have something to say.

Zulekha Begum was shocked to hear her daughter's voice and was trying to stop her by repeatedly gesturing but Reshmi demanded her without looking at her mother.

Mamun's parents did not pay any attention to Reshmi's words. On the contrary, Mamun's mother said, "Every girl has a right to Denmohar. It is their fair share. Mamun must pay Denmohar's money at the wedding."

Reshmi was happy to hear about her future mother-in-law and said with a little more courage, I will get a job after finishing my studies, then I will give some of my salary to my father every month. Do you have any objection? Another thing is that my father is trying his best to educate our three sisters and make them human. It is not possible for my father to give any dowry gift material. You can only take me as your wife and you will not get anything else.

Mamun's mother smiled and said, "Mother, your parents made you a man by teaching you to work hard. When you get a job, you have the same rights as we have. Your parents also have a right. We don't mind. We don't need any gift dowry. Mother, we Just want to make a good minded girl the wife of the house that will love us.

Reshmi and Reshmi's parents are happy to hear such words from Mamun's mother.

Today, Reshmi got married to Mamun. Mr. Kazi handed over one lakh rupees of Denmohar to Reshmi before the marriage was solemnized.

Just before going to his father-in-law's house after the marriage, he handed over the silk money to Afzal Hossain and said, "Father, with this money you will buy two cows and raise them in Pelepushe." Your age is so hard to work in the field. When the cows grow up, you will sell the cows and give them to the grocery store.

Everyone around her applauded Reshmi for her behavior and said that all parents should have such a girl in their house, and I applauded Mamun's parents, if every parent is against dowry gift and can educate the child then the custom of giving dowry gift from the society will stop.

(Silk house in our village)

A year ago one of my cousins ​​Mehnaz came to visit our house. Looking for a pot for the last marriage to read Honors.

Suddenly in the story, Mehnaz asked me, has Apu Dulabhai paid your dowry?

Hearing his question, it seemed that I have not yet received the money of Denmohar!

I said with a little annoyance, no Ray has not given any name yet. Today I will actually leave the house after collecting the money of Denmohar.

Mehnaz laughed and said, "Apu, you got married thirty years ago. What is the difference between the value of money then and the value of money now? What is the need to collect that money now?"

Listening to Mehenaz's words, my understanding is that thirty years ago, there would not have been eight gold ornaments for 7 rupees, or there would have been paddy land for one and a half bighas, and now there will be no eight annas of gold for 8 rupees and doubt whether the land will be one hundred.

Mehenaz said, "Apu, I have decided that I will get the money of Denmohar first and then I will accept it."

Listening to him, I laughed and said, "Far, crazy, so is it again?"

A few days later, five people with pots suddenly came to see Mehenaz. Seeing the bride, they like it very much. On the same day, they will keep it intact and after a month, they will pick up the wife.

The potter's name is Zahid and he has his own house in the city.

All right Denmohar was set at three lakh rupees.

Mehenaz made it clear that he would give me the money first and then I would accept.

The pot party was surprised and said, I will pay when my wife is picked up after a month.

If Mehenaz doesn't agree with that, then it is clear that the marriage will take place after one month. If you don't pay the dowry after the marriage, then I will not be able to disturb the quarrel and I will not be able to break the marriage again, so pay the dowry first and then I will accept.

Zahid gently told Mehenaz that I had not brought so much money with me.

Go home and bring the money with you, if not today, you will get married tomorrow.

We explained a lot to Mehnaz but he did not agree to anything. The next day the pot party brought three lakh rupees and handed it over to Mehnaz and then Mehnaz accepted.

Mehenaz left the money in the bank. His argument is not sure when any danger will come, to whom should I reach out? Keep the money in the bank and it will be useful in bad times.

Seemingly silky, Mehnaz looks like a very stubborn girl. Many people look down on them for recovering the dowry money in this way in the wedding hall but I will say that he has done the right thing. Why should he give up the rights of the girls voluntarily?

I was surprised to see Mamun and Zahid really well educated and salute their parents from the bottom of their hearts. If all parents have children like them, then it is not too late for girls to have a good day.
