A friend of mine is planning to get married but the future in-laws are asking for $30,000 as dowry. Everyone is now telling him not to get married because the parents are not selling their daughter. They said that girls from ordinary families do not cost that much and that $8,000 to $10,000 is sufficient.
Then one of the friends said that this daughter must be like the family maid, doing everything for the family at home and supporting it financially so the parents need this much to cover their loss.
If going by this logic, I think that even $30,000 is not enough for my parents! I support the family financially, pay off their debts, give them pocket money and support the upkeep of the home and monkeys and work like a maid.
Ah, no wonder I am still single unless somebody can come up with a million dollars dowry. I think that the poorer a girl is from, the higher the dowry lol
