Daughters are so special and a daughter-in-law is equally special. So at a wedding in Dubai, to show how much value his daugher has a Pakistani businessman weighed his daughter in gold bricks – to give as her dowry. The girl’s weight in gold reportedly came to 69 kilograms of real gold bricks.
What I would have liked to know in this news report is what did he do with the gold. Did he give it to charity or to the groom family as dowry.
This would be tell tale whether this act was for philanthropy or just upholding a poor tradition.
