[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]
Many Indians still live in “joint” families where the parents, sons and their families all live under the same roof. Each of these setups comes up
with their own rules for handling money but the common implication is that the parents will be supported by their sons if they lack their own means. In many instances the sons will also be expected to pay for their sisters’ weddings if the parents are not able to. Works great if theirs is plenty of money to go around, not so great otherwise. Times are changing in India and many educated working women are refusing to live like this. [/quote]
