Couple of reasons why you should'nt take Dowry

A married man doesn't need to wear anything to show he is married. The stamp of idiocy to have got married shows all over his face!! :lol: :lol:

Shekar that's really funny man :lol:

Wearing poonal over the shirt ! That's double funny. :lol: :lol:

Wow, tats most interesting to know!
First time I got to know abt ne Hindus wearing wedding rings in their marriage! And tat too both men & women! :)
But in tat case, I guess the thaali would be more or less unnecessary.....unless, as I don't doubt, its just worn as a safeguard and/or in case ppl. who r unfamiliar w/ the Tulu traditions begin to question the women abt the lack of the thaali....! :wink:

Oooops!! Very sorry, my mistake! :? Yes ur right, it shud be 6 strands for married men! :)
Actually a relative of mine once said it was 4 but just confirmed it from my mum....she said its double the no. of strands in the brahmachari poonel, so obv. 6 strands!

so what about a prenuptial agreement...is that something that should come more into fashion? Or is that breaking with trust....again it has to be done before the wedding no?

When I was studying in college, during the ragging period we had to become superheros during the evenings. What that meant was that we had to wear our jettis outside the trousers, wear a lungi on our backs, and pretend to fly if we wanted to go anywhere. Actually, it was quite funny, even for us.
