kosu, Adaikalam,

A woman going for job sure makes her Independent . But the sad plight is that even if she goes for a job, the money earned therefrom is saved for her dowry so that it relieves her father's burden to spend for her.

Financial freedom does NOT relieve women fully. We all know many women earn their living, and is in worst plight than the non-earning women. They have to do dual work of home and job front. What women need is not ONLY FINANCIAL freedom. The freedom in true sense, would include freedom from certain norms and values which ties and binds only women.

A man unmarried at 35, or divorced, or a widower, is not subject to criticism or debates.The same is NOT true for women. Hence, whether a woman is financially dependant or independant, she is forced or made to say YES to marriage, pay dowry for it against her will, for the want of equally educated man like herself.

Siddarth,

"Whether a woman works or not is irrelevant. It should be her choice. Dowry system is inherently evil and the best solution would be something like in shariat law, amputation or emasculation."
