Your post is irrelevant- wise for you to get Indian spouse where you will receive - since you worry about giving , in Thailand- why don’t ask your partner in first place ? The classification of dowry, progressive country, modern woman- are very broad- beyond our imagination! Just enjoy and follow your heart my sweet advise
if you are really educated- and culturally nourished (as I assume you being from india) - than this post conflicts ! You have to figure out yourself in context of your spouse and in-laws and deal with culture! See it’s like CASE TO CASE BASIS !
Admit facts and reality- india is ultra progressing but nowhere it can stop dowry in Rajasthan or in fact any region! If you can’t handle the customs and rituals it’s difficult to adjust for you since this is Asia after all-
the rubbish nonsense so called traditions- are still practiced in India - especially RAJASTHAN., if we can’t change it how and what you can do 4000 kms far place?
Does dowry still happen in india , in modern day and age?? You don’t need to answer back dear 😊- it will be a bit of struggle of transition of culture but TIT ., if you know what it stands for !
