Spineless men still in dark ages - the dowry menance
I have been wondering as to why the 21st centaury guy who sports a Nike shoe, speaks into a 20k cell phone, wears faded denim and hangs out at coffee days, in most cases, hasn't the 'spine' to say that he wouldn't make dowry demands when he looks for a bride. Or that he wouldn't tolerate anyone getting a dowry on his behalf. Why is it that though he has physically moved into the 21st centaury, he is still 'really' in the dark ages?
Some guys blame it on their parents as though every other decision about their lives they always defer to their parents. Why does he not salvage some dignity for himself by holding his ground by insisting to his parents that he wouldn't agree to a marriage where dowry was a part of the deal?
I admire the few men who have come forward to not make any dowry demands as a principle. There are quite a few men who prove that they have a spine and can stand on two legs by themselves. What the world needs most today is such men with a 'spine' who are willing to walk over blind traditions and prejudices for the sake of an admirable principle which are worth living for and dieing for.
