[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People here repeat cultural context, but how is it in India, does the money belong only to the husband or the family? It shouldn't be difficult to understand anywhere in the world that once the son is married, he has a family and cannot just give out money on his own accord. Especially if it's not about basic necessities, but discretionary expenses. In many cultures, man earns the money and the woman decides how to spend it within a family:) [/quote]

An Indian woman wouldn't deny her mother-in-law, so the disagreement would never happen. [/quote]

So what about women's parents? Who gives them money? [/quote]

It's India - if they didn't have a son they are SOL. Remember that women are property of men in India. Literally there is a ceremony for the bride to say goodbye to her family because she will no longer be a part of their family. She is now owned by her husband's family.

In India the MIL wouldn't even need ti ask for money. They - all 3 or 4 generations - would likely live together under one roof and share expenses.[/quote]

This is not 1960s India, PP.[/quote]
