We even bought our wedding clothes with our own money (that's all that we could afford then). As years went by, I told my father that I do not need any part of the inheritance because we earn well and did not feel the need to claim the share.

Those from an economically stable position should also think that the practice of giving and taking of dowry, and also denial of inheritance, is copied down to the last rung of the society. It has a crippling effect on all, but it is blithely accepted, as an acceptable 'given'. My first cousin sister, an only parent, has made arrangements for the short stay of only one hundred of her would be son in law's wedding entourage( It could be less if the threat of coronavirus leads to a reduction in the number of wedding guests allowed. But the pre booking has been made. Hotels have ensured that 250 guests can be accommodated, by UP state law, in an open air setting! And she has paid in advance.....) as they are residents of another state

However, my mother and her 2 sisters hardly got anything as her brothers were adamant about keeping almost everything for themselves.

I was infact told I have a greed over his property and only the son is going to feed them and take care of them in their old age. Thankful to my husband for not demanding any dowry and i was neither gifted anything during my marriage. 5 years past that conversation today things are different. They demand me take care of them and I am reminded of the legal rules that the daughters are supposed to take care of their old parents.

@@pushpakathpal7812 You're absolutely right, Pushpa ji! And I have already put forward my idea within my family that neither am I going to set up my son for sale, since he is invaluable, not valueless, nor am I going to buy my sons-in-law who also cannot be valued against a sum of money. These are pure relationships that we are going to build with love as the current, not bargains that we decide upon against currency.

I wish my brother saw this. My father's and mother's legal will was to divide everything equally, yet my brother did not respect it. Our relatives advised that he is your only relative alive, keep the relationship and forget the money, he will give whatever he can. I feel terrible about all this, even more after watching this video. I don't want to be the weak daughter anymore, the one who's father empowered her.

If your brother loves you enough why does he care about the property. It's sad that money is more important than family to people. You are her only relative too. Why shouldn't he try to save the relation?

Aastha Sabharwal, I know exactly how you feel. I had a cousin sister who faced the same problem. The brother was so arrogant and insolent that she filed a case against him, and got her share of the family property. I pray your brother changes his mind and gives you what is rightfully yours..🤗

I lost my dad at age of 13, I had a 1.5year old sister at that time...my father's family abandoned us..my father had not made much property by then.. we did not have anything.. my mother's family agreed to take care of us...now after 15 years they took all my mother's earnings and they are not willing to give us my mother's share also.. what is the value of girl child in this country??? Even if my mother goes legally and flights she might get property but she will get a big title that she is selfish and stole her brothers rights.. instead I believe in earn your property and don't depend on any one... specially when you are born as girl in this country..it's a sin asking for property!!!

Wonderful.... she is an example of never judge a book by its cover. Also She's one of the luckiest...

It was his responsibility, he had to do it even if you were male. Don't get much sentimental when you don't get anything.

About 10 years ago a news broadcast or special on tv showed a poor poor young woman who was a beautiful young Indian woman. She burned 3 percent of her body except for her nose and upper face. Her husband did it to her, her dowery was rejected by him because it wasn't enough. I have never forgotten it. The poor girl died from her infection of the burns.

My heart cried hearing your speech, I can't believe how my brother whom I never expected to cheat me could do it. But the bible says no one will go unpunished. I just praise the lord Jesus for righteousness n justice is the foundation of his throne

Very true, girls just want equal status and they prove how much they can do for both the families. From childhood itself we should treat girl with respect and dignity. Allow and involve her in making decisions for family and herself, and see how much she will care for you in your old age.
