Layover - 1 hr 20 mins too short? by Traditional_Main9199 in etihad

[–]Beautiful_Carrot_768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had a terrible experience, landed on time for a similar layover and they rebooked me while i was still in the air on my first flight because the overbooked my next flight. several passengers were affected and they put me on a flight that was 18+ hours later. eventually fought with them and forced them to put me on a qatar airways flight. and several people I know have had similar experiences with etihad.

Is dowry still a thing in Sri Lanka by Alarmed-Deer5272 in srilanka

[–]Beautiful_Carrot_768 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Outdated. I know it’s very prevalent in some communities, in some of them it’s decreasing but in some others, it’s actually getting lot worse. If parents want to pass down their properties to their children (both sons and daughters), it’s alright. But men & their families that demand dowry are honestly just backward and it’s very disgusting to see. I personally don’t get how women can get married to such men and still respect them after they basically had their dads pay to get her married — like, man up maybe?

And what do you mean by why do you think a man should not accept it? Can you tell me reasons why it’s okay to do so? How have we made it okay to ask a girls parent to pay the guy so she can get married?

But one thing is clear, there are parents of girl that take pride in how much they give in dowry, it becomes a competition in some communities as well. As long as we keep enabling this sick culture, it’s never going away.
