Quote... While I would prefer no such financial transaction take place at all, I wonder what a few well-publicized instances of Indian men paying a brideprice would do to change perceptions? - I too feel it would be best if no financial transaction had to take place. And as for publicizing brideprice, I imagine it would make some amount of difference. And it would prolly catch on pretty quickly and a new tradition of it would be getting started. Quote... Right now, poor families don't want girls because they can't afford that dowry later on - but if poor families saw that girls were valuable - a cash crop if you will - they would have a very different attitude. - Most surely, Baldur. Most surely. Quote... On the other hand, won't it be funny in forty years when Indian men have a reputation for being pussy-whipped because they know they have to do whatever it takes to keep their wife, because so many other options are available to her. - Why would you find it funny? Maybe I'm missing something? But I can't think of a reason why I would see humor in men being pussy-whipped. Fill me in on that, Baldur. |
