Surprisingly, It's Different from What I Know

Sa mga ilokano po kasi is lalaki and babae ang magtutulungan para may maihandog sa bawat isa. Pero mga Ifugao is yung lalaki dapat ang may maihahandog sa kaniyang aasawahin.. Magkakaiba man tayo ng mga tradisyon..yung respeto ay dapat naoobserve padin ..strictly.

Let's make the terms clear."Dowry" is always property from the bride or bride's family handed over to the man, although it sometimes remains the formal property of the wife... being hers (before calculating inheritance) if the husband dies.

Property handed over from the man to the bride's family is either a bride price or a "dower" (never "dowry").

The Muslim"mahr" is often mistranslated to "dowry", but is not any dowry. However, belongings brought by the bride to her new family can be considered a dowry. While"mahr" is mandatory for a Muslim marriage, some Muslim societies have a dowry as well.

On the whole, internationally and historically, the practice with dowry, is and has been far more common than dower.

Narinig ko na din ata yang babae nga ang magbbgay ng dowry. Pero, kelangan ba talaga yon . Parang yung pag aasawa nila is isang transaction na matapos mabayaran sa iyo na yang anak namin blablablabla. Parang ang labas benenta lang ang anak 😅. But well tradition nga pala yun, so ganon na talaga.

Recently i wrote an article on Dowry. It is true. Its quite common in our place where we have to give a huge amount as dowry to get our daughters married.

Every countries tradition has some amazing things in it if you study or read a book about it. And some of this tradition has both the positive and negative in it.....i see no reason why the woman should be the one to pay the dowry, but the owners of this tradition are so comfortable with it....it's not fair though... I love my tradition as every other person loves theirs.

It's really opposite in the tradition that most of our ancestors practice back in days even in some families right now. We are used to that men is the one offering things to the girl's family to prove that he have a sufficient or he can take care and of the girl.

This is the first time I'm knowing about this. This is a complete opposite of what's done in my country. I wish it's practiced here, it's gonna make a lot of sense as me will be relief from that buggy demand 🤣

Ngayon ko lang to alam ah kasi same tayo ngvthoughy about dowry "na lalaki ang magbibigay" kasi yung sa kuya na kinasal sa Muslim we really give dowry and shoulder all the expenses during the wedding. Jusko, "All is well" sobrang favorite ko yang movie na yan.

I just also know it I had a friend also whos been in a fixed marriage she's a muslim, and she really hate it, she just said that her parents wants to do ut just for the dowry and I don't know where she is now.

I've heard about the family of the female paying bride price to the man's family. It's indian culture which I've seen ain't a lit of their movies. I first heard about it while I was in elementary school from one of our story books.

When I learnt about this, I was just as shocked, but on looking further at the way the Indians run their society, you will see they are deeply patriarchal and have little respect for the female gender. This might explain it, as they probably feel the woman is the one being done a favour and not the other way around

I remember my gay Muslim schoolmate who was arranged for marriage-not sure what happened though. Some arranged marriages last but others don't. I guess it depends on the couple.

You watched 3 idiots? Wow! Yes, That's an odd system.

Asking for a dowry (and material objects, such as cars, flats, etc.) is a crime in India. But, affluent girls' parents are happily obliging and getting a well-employed/settled groom for their daughters. When I married (it was an arranged marriage), my wife's parents enquired why I married without dowry and if I had any defects! The Dowry system depends on both sides of the parents. I knew one story *real). The bride was unhappy because her groom agreed to marry without a dowry. Later she blamed her father-in-law for being good and not demanding a dowry from her father! She considered it a loss!

So, this is the real side of the story.

I know, it is practiced in India it would be very unwise of me not to mention that it is illegal according to dowry prohibition law 1961.

Baliktad diri sa Atong country sis no? Kay ang lalaki man ang mag offer ug dowry sa pamilya sa babae. Four years nako diri sa Muslim area, ug naa ko naamiga mga iyang anak na babae ang gikasal. 100k ang dowry sa lalaki

It's way different to the tradition we knowm. Since I watched Amaya, an epic traditional series produced by GMA. I know dowry were given by a man as an offering.

I've watched the 3 idiots movies many times hut i never focused on the sister of raju but you were right, its the girl who will give the dowry.

Its another tradition that we don't yet know why.

Opposite pala sa kanila. Parang ako pa yata nagreport nito dati ate eh yung dowry. Ngayon ko lang din to nalaman, another learnings na naman.

3 idiots my all time favourite movie, glad it spread light on the topic. Every culture and traditions are different but many have sick flaws which feels too evil to me. No offense to anyone but some of our cultures have crazy tradition, I'm glad with literacy people are accepting the good ones and abolishing the bad ones.

It is traditionally adopted by community otherwise demanding dowry is purely against the teachings of Islam. However it becomes part of our culture.

Iba-iba talaga yung mga traditions sis. Na explain din sakin ng partner ko yan about sa dowry in Muslim. Ganyang talaga tradition nila. Kung hindi dahil sa partner di ko rin malalaman na shocked ako pero sabotable naman kasi one of their traditions talaga.

My dear friend, I fully understand what you said. I also grew up in a Muslim society that has long believed that the dowry should be borne by the poor girl's family. But fortunately, in my modern-day society, this tradition is slowly becoming obsolete, and some of the dowry must be provided by the girl's family and some by the boy's family.

Dowry is really a practice still in some traditions even in my place, not in my town itself but I've hear my brother said before that it is still a thing in my neighboring town. Traditions are indeed diverse from place to another and every tradition deserve to be respected as you have said.

I think in india women are liable with dowry. Right?
