In India marriage means building relationship between two families, rather than just two people likes and dislikes. In Europe, USA culture is different. They will have relationship with each other before marriage and then later on , if they feel comfortable and compatible then they will marry eventually. Here involvement of parents in selecting bride or groom would be almost zero.
In India marriage culture goes like this-
1. When girl completes her studies or one year before they start looking for alliances.
2. Girl’s parents give photos to local marriage brokers or relatives to look for good match to their daughter.
3. If a boy’s profile is liked by girls parents then they will call boy’s parents to come and see the girl in their house. Girl doesn’t need to know all these things.
4. Boy’s parents will come to see girl. They keenly watch girl’s beauty, fairness, walk, smile etc. If they are fine with those things they will talk with girl for some time and she will serve snacks to them.
5. Boy’s parents see their house and also they will ask how much dowry girl’s parents can effort for.
6. If both boy and girl likes each other then marriage broker/relative starts discussions between two families about dowry and marriage conditions.
7. Mostly in Indian Hindus families, Girl doesn’t have to work. They feel Jobs are meant for Men, not for women. So its not compulsory that girl should be a job holder. Decent education for girls is enough. Marriage age for girls is 18 and for boys it is 21 years.
8. Dowry ranges from 2 lakhs to 30 lakhs rupees. But now a days, dowry had increased as men are earning more per annum. For high salaried men girl’s parents has to give high dowries, it can go up to 1 crore rupees.
9. Now a day’s even girls are working and earning equal amount of guys pay. So girls are not interested to give much dowries to guys. But the tradition still carries. Girl’s parents are interested to give dowry. They feel its safety for their daughter.
10. Dowry will be given in different forms. Some give dowry in the form of gold. Full 5 to 10 lakhs they give in terms of gold ornaments. So that their daughter can sell this gold in her difficult situations.
11. Some give in the form of fixed assets like Flats – 15 to 30 lakhs, Plots -10 to 30 lakhs. And some amount they do fixed deposits under their daughters’ name.
12. and some amount like 5 lakhs they give to boy in cash as gift.
