There is no traditional Hindu marriage without Kanya Danam. Sati and Kanya Danam show women as one’s posession. Women are free individuals, they are not any posession. Sati was abolished. Now it is time to stop Kanya Danam. Better late than never .
Good suggestion if we decide to do away with all the other formalities of marriage and family system. Kanya daan is only a ritual without much expenditure. Other major non-rituals starting from dowry, wedding receptions and dinners, buying of jewels and dresses which are put in the wardrobes and bank lockers result in huge drain of income of the parents should be first shown the door.
