because she's indian, she has to pay dowry to get married. and she's like: why should i pay dowry to get married when i can support myself financially??
wat should i tell her?

Answer 1

I definitely agree with your friend. It is much better off to be single. There's no one to boss u around. No one to iron their clothes, cook their meals, give them satisfaction and worse of all no one to spend all your money. If I were U, I would just let my friend with her own choice. Otherwise she takes ur advice, ends up bad and blames u for that....ok....so just let her be!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

this is a huge problem in India. thousands of girl commit suicide because the family in unable to afford their daughter's dowry. To make it worse, society is so conservative that even simple conversations between boys and girls is not allowed, forget about going out and stuff.

If your friend can support herself financially, let her hang on until she finds the right man. Don't give in to #%@!@#! dowry demands. Your friend is brave.

P.S.: Do you know that many young Muslim men cannot marry because they have to pay huge dowers to Muslim girls? when will India step into the new century?
