One of the two adults in the actual romantic relationship asks the other.

The days of dowries, human property, extended family obligations, debts are loooooong gone Op.

Do you live in an insular enclave of some sorts? [/quote]

In your little world, these things may be gone, but that's not true of the world as a whole.

BTW, did your parent give you away at your wedding?  Do you have an engagement ring? Did you have a bridal shower?  These are all things rooted in the tradition of a father handing off a daughter to another man's responsibility, financial insurance should the DH leave the bride, and providing basic home goods for a woman who has only lived in her parent's home.[/quote]

Women have careers, income and assets now, they don't need need someone to buy them blood diamond engagement ring or home goods. They need equality, love and respect from their partners and both families.[/quote]

You wouldn’t know it by the near daily threads asking for how-tos on marrying wealthy men. I also think mothers are more involved in advising their daughters than they would care to admit (even on an anonymous forum.) [/quote]
