Dowry Is Heavier Than Life

Rating: 5.0


Most Asian women; it seems to be compulsory to bring a property or money as a bride to her husband on her marriage.
What a ridiculous custom is this?
It's rather different than when you visit a whore.
Then you have to pay her and it's a must.
How these shameless craven men grumble for money?
A woman goes with a man for better prospects and she gives you precious offspring.
These human God-fearing barbarians treat callously for those fragile creatures.

Love is beyond price. And every human being has a soul worth cherishing. But your comment on a sad and complex situation is worthwhile., Kind regards, Sandra

An excellent piece, but you go too near to diatribe here my friend and that doesn't suit your pen. All the ssame you maintain the idiosyncracies of your work, that make them such a pleasure to read.

This is a very difficult one for me to comment on, all I know is that love is free Customs can be deep routed, entwined into so much of what is done, if there is to be change then it must be senstively done and with the greatest respect for ALL Love Duncan X
