    hmmmm i dunno much abt the dewedha... but my relations... its always been something the couple gets after theyre married and its given as a gift... like if they give a house... they give it to the daughter so she owns it...
    in that sense its the wedding gift from parents to their daughter..

    i won't ask for that nor will my family that i know for certain.

    to a marriage, to my knowledge, both parties should put efforts and their share equally for it is a bond supposedly based on trust, commitment and love which is kind of spiritual, not that I'm saying there's no physicallity to it, in which case, i don't get the need of even agreeing to written terms, well, of course that's be your guarantee though ..
    anyway i don't get what important roll the dowry plays in a marriage..if theres anything to it pls somebody enlighten me. how this all started and all.

    okey, good:)

    Yes, I don't get the roll of dowry either, when a guy can work (and a girl can too) whats the need of that dowry??
    Eventhough its not a big issue these days, but some people I know and seen still put a big value on it!

    thnx for ya opinion

    True!! Eka tamai i agree with you sis, or u agree with me.
    Girl (boy) kiyanna more worth than stuff, when a guy has a job, eyata puluwan to take care of someone, ay salli from parents ganna?!

    But mata terenne naha, ai parents sometimes ekata echara illanna kiyala?

    If I marry a sri lankan, hell no i would give dewedha, not because i dont have the money, just its my standard:rofl:

    merci pour ta opinion;)

    this is the correct way
    this became more important if her marriage is going break or her husband is neglecting her needs

    I see, its different, but still does the family of the guys don't like demand (a heavy word) but more like is looking for a girl who has like something, value in sri lankan ways, house, idam ?

    ahh some ppl ask for a dowry because it shows that both are from good families.
    its weird.. but there also the idea that this way the girl has property or money to her name and she represents her family.. so its more of an internal thing rather than necessity...
